Cairo, Egypt

One of the finest museums in Cairo is this collection of over 10,000 pieces of Islamic art. The exhibits illustrate every era of development, including Ummayad, Abbasid, Fatimid, Ayyubid, and Mamluk works.

The Church of St. George (Mari Girgis) in Cairo is the primary Greek Orthodox church of Egypt and the only round church in the country. Originally built in the 10th century, it stands atop an old Roman tower and adjoins a monastery.
