Founded in the 14th century, Khan Khalil is the world's oldest bazaar market. Established shortly after the Black Death (bubonic plague), Sultan Barquq, the first ruler of the 14th century Mamluk empire, built the market as a part of his efforts to revive the city after the world witnessed one of its worst plagues. The bazaar is loud, crowded, colorful and exciting - for centuries traders and visitors came from around the world to buy spices, perfumes, oils, gold, carpets, antiques and more. Khan Khalil isn’t for the faint hearted - expect to bargain and negotiate like you have never. Enjoy the Mamluk architecture, archways, vaulted ceilings, through the various alleyways that can act as a maze. Once you are done negotiating and have bought your souvenirs, have a cup of tea and shisha (hookah) at Cairo’s oldest cafe, El Fishway, founded in 1773, it has served Napoleon's troops to more recent times the Nobel Prize winner Naguib Mahfouz.
The Great Pyramids of Giza are the oldest and the only wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence. Built purely out of millions of limestone blocks during Egypt’s golden age 5,000 years ago, they have stood the test of time and have triumphed as the world’s tallest man-made structure for almost 4,000 years. Over the course of decades, it took tens of thousands of highly skilled workers to accomplish the construction of these amazing structures to host the tombs of the three kings: Khafre, Khufu, and Menkaure. The skilled craftsmanship, spot-on accuracy of calculations, and incomparable endurance of these man-made structures has led many to think that there might have been help from aliens.
