1- The Egyptian museum in Cairo. It has all the treasures of King Tut Anch Amun, that is to say more than 4000 peices, above all the King's mask of gold which weighs 9 kilograms of pure gold. 2 coffins of gold the small one weighs 110 kilograms of pure gold. Also the treasures of many other kings and Queens, noblemen and ordinary people dating to the ancient Egyptian era.
2- Sakkara and Memphis. Memphis was the first capital of Egypt while Sakkara was its cemetary. In Sakkara you can visit the step pyramid which is the first pyramid built in Egypt, other tombs of the noblemen in the form of mastaba with scenes of the daily life of the ancient Egyptians and the museum of Imhotep who was the first architecht in the whole world since he used the stones to build a huge complex that is the step pyramid and its surrounding buildings.
3- The alabaster mosque inside the citadel.
4- Luxor and Aswan. They are in the south of Egypt, but it is worth it to visit them. The best way is to make a cruise in the Nile in one of the large boats between the 2 cities, you will not regret it.
