    <triplocations name="Pyramids of Gizeh" description="The capital of the Old Kingdom of Egypt has some extraordinary funerary monuments, including rock tombs, ornate mastabas, temples and pyramids. In ancient times, the site was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The pyramids and the Sphinx are illuminated during the hours of darkness. “Sound and Light” events take place in the evenings on the grounds south-east of the Sphinx. There can scarcely be a more spectacular backdrop for the production of the famous opera by Giuseppe Verdi than the pyramids of Gizeh. Every year in October, this spectacle attracts opera fans from all over the world. Information and tickets are available at every good travel agency. 
The pyramids of Gizeh, a creation from the fourth dynasty (around 2670 to around 2500 BC is probably the most significant point of interest in Egypt and one of the most visited locations in the country.  It is the most impressive and extensive of the six pyramid groups which extend along the edge of the western desert plateau for a distance of approx. 40 km. It is calm here only in the early morning hours. After that, numerous buses unload the visitors which are immediately surrounded by souvenir vendors, camel drivers and horse lenders. The methods for convincing tourists to take a ride around the pyramids are sometimes quite adventurous; a healthy portion of distrust will not be misplaced. The pyramids share their location to the west of the Nile valley, at the edge of the desert, and the massive build-up of mighty blocks of the limestone in the surrounding area  (particularly nummulite limestone) with an originally polished covering of finer white limestone or granite. In the interior, the more recent pyramids have a spatially relatively limited tomb chamber, a room for the cult of the deceased as well as rooms for tomb gifts. In early times, all of these rooms were subterranean. Furthermore, all pyramids share the access from the north and a cult temple on the east side to which an originally open, later frequently covered route leads up from the valley temple at the edge of the drop to the Nile. The famous parts:

    <triplocations name="Egyptian Museum" description="With its finds of Egyptian and Graeco-Roman objects from the Nile valley, it is the largest and most significant collection of this type anywhere and one of the most interesting sights in Cairo. The museum was founded in 1857 by the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette (1821–1881). There is agreement that the museum building, which was opened in 1902, has long been too small for its gigantic collection. Only part of the collection, about 44,000 exhibits, can be shown – almost as many pieces again are stored in cellars. The long-planned new structure is now moving into the implementation phase: about 20km/12mi south-west of Cairo on the road to the El-Fayoum oasis, the foundation stone was laid for the new museum building, whose dimensions will make it the largest historical museum in the world. A library, an archive, restoration workshops and an international research centre are also being built here.
Don't miss:
The Treasure of Tutankhamun
Also of great artistic significance: the tomb treasures of Queen Hetepheres, the mother of Cheops, and the jewellery collection.
The Hall of mummies
