Egypt’s most sought-after attraction, the legendary Pyramids of Giza, tends to steal the show, but this country is jam-packed with a staggering amount of extraordinary sights, from ancient artefacts to mind-boggling natural wonders and magnificent tombs and temples. And there’s one destination in particular that ends up being a favourite of almost every guest on Ahmed’s tours (hint: it’s probably not what you think it is).

Egypt Trip #Last part#Jelajah Jejak Rasul #Mesir#Cairo#Travel Vlog Diary
Perjalanan ???????? Egypt (Mesir) pada bulan April 2019
Mengunjungi tempat tempat bersejarah di Kota Kairo
* Masjid Amru bin Ash adalah nama sebuah Masjid yang dibangun oleh Sahabat Nabi Muhammad SAW, Amru bin Ash tahun 21 Hijriyah di kota Fustat, Mesir. Masjid Amr ibn al-As atau Masjid Amr adalah masjid pertama yang pernah dibangun di Mesir dan seluruh Afrika. Jadi Masjid ini merupakan Masjid Tertua.
* Piramida Giza : Piramida tertua dan terbesar dari tiga piramida yang ada di Nekropolis Giza dan merupakan satu-satunya bangunan yang masih menjadi bagian dari Tujuh Keajaiban Dunia.
* Sphinx sebuah patung besar berbentuk kepala manusia dan berbadan singa, Ini adalah satu dari beberapa patung terbesar di dunia yang terbuat dari satu batu utuh, dan dipercaya telah dibangun oleh peradaban Mesir Kuno pada milenium ketiga SM.
* Masjid Imam al-Syafi’i. Ia merupakan pendiri Mazhab Syafii,, tapi sayang saat itu tidak bisa masuk kedalam dan tidak bisa berziarah ke makam nya, karena sedang ada pembangunan .
* Masjid Muhammad Ali Pasha adalah Landmark Kairo, Ibukota Mesir. Lokasi Masjid Muhammad Ali Pasah berada di puncak Benteng Salahuddin. Sehingga kemegahan masjid dapat terlihat dari jauh, jika berada di lingkungan Masjid Muhammad Ali Pasha akan terlihat semua sudut Kota Kairo, termasuk sungai Nil dan 3 Piramid di Giza. Interior didalam masjid Sangat indah sekali , dan gema suara terdengar bagus sekali ketika mengumandangkan suara dari dalam masjid .
Masjid Muhammad Ali Pasha dibangun mulai pada tahun 1830 dan selesai tahun 1848 (republikan.co.id), yaitu sekitar tujuh abad setelah berdirinya Benteng Salahuddin yang dikenal dengan Qal’ ah Shalahuddin atau Citadel Salahuddin.
Benteng dinamakan dengan benteng atau Qal’ ah Salahuddin karena benteng tersebut dibangun oleh Salahuddin Al Ayyubi. Nama aslinya adalah Yusuf bin Najmuddin al-Ayyubi (c. 1138 – 4 Maret 1193), seorang jenderal dan pejuang muslim Kurdi dari Tikrit (daerah utara Irak saat ini). Ia mendirikan Dinasti Ayyubiyyah di Mesir, Suriah, sebagian Yaman, Irak, Mekkah Hejaz dan Diyar Bakr. Benteng ini dibangun untuk mempertahankan Kota Kairo dari serangan Pasukan Salib.
* Museum Nasional Mesir : museum yang menyimpan benda benda bersejarah dan terdapat banyak mummy (mayat yang diawetkan) termasuk konon mummy nya Firaun . Tetapi ruangan yang menyimpan mummy Firaun dilarang untuk direkam jadi tidak ada di video ini , tapi saya melihat nya saat itu. Dan beberapa ruangan yang menyimpan harta benda yang terbuat dari emas juga tidak boleh di rekam.
* Toko Papyrus tempat penjualan kertas Papyrus khas mesir yang sudah di gunakan dari sejak jaman dahulu kala . Disini banyak sekali lukisan2 dan kaligrafi yang bagus bagus yang terbuat dari kertas Papyrus asli , dan harga nya juga lumayan mahal .
*Toko Parfum : disini terkenal dengan parfum yang tanpa alkohol dan wangi nya dari tumbuhan bunga2 alami. Serta ada aromatherapy juga yang bagus untuk kesehatan. Parfum nya wangi nya enak sekali dan lumayan tahan lama .
* Mengunjungi makam Imam Al Bushiri yang berkewarganegaraan Mesir merupakan seorang ulama yang menciptakan tentang qasidah Burdah yang digunakan untuk memuji Nabi Muhammad SAW. Karya-karyanya telah diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Inggris oleh Faizullabhai, bahasa Prancis oleh R. Basset, dan bahasa Jerman oleh CA Ralfs. Wikipedia
* Shalat di Masjid Al - Azhar Masjid Al-Azhar (Arab: جامع الأزهر jami' al-'Azhar, masjid yang gemilang) adalah sebuah masjid yang dibangun oleh Panglima Jauhar Assiqilli di Kairo antara tahun 359-361 Hijriyah atau 970-972 Masehi atas perintah khalifah Muiz Lidinillah, dari Daulat Fatimiah. Masjid ini adalah masjid Islam yang paling terkenal sekaligus masjid kampus terbesar.
*Masjid Hussein.
Di dalam masjid yang dibangun tahun 1154 Masehi inilah terdapat makam cucu Rasulullah SAW, Hussein bin Ali bin Abi Thalib. Berada di sekitar kompleks Kairo lama, berhadapan dengan masjid Al-Azhar dan hanya beberapa meter dari Azhar Park.
Makam Sayyidina Hussein berada tepat di belakang mimbar masjid. Berbentuk persegi empat berwarna keperakan berhiaskan ayat suci Al Quran dan bertuliskan nasab beliau dengan banyak bunga. Pagar setinggi dada orang dewasa mengelilingi makam.
* singgah ke Khan Al Khalili Market untuk berbelanja souvenir khas Mesir .
* singgah di sebuah mall di kota Kairo Baru untuk makan malam .
* lalu menuju Bandara Internasional Cairo untuk kembali pulang ke Jakarta .

Old Coptic Cairo | Cairo Day Tour - Egypt Attractions Tours
Coptic Cairo which is a unique area that has a concentration of Christian churches and other sites that date from the centuries between the decline of the pharaonic religion and the arrival of Islam when Egypt had a Christian majority. It is built around the fort of Babylon on upon the remains of its walls.
The Hanging Church is also referred to as the Suspended Church or Al-Moallaqa. It is called the Hanging Church because it was built on the southern gate of the Roman Fortress. Logs of palm trees and layers of stones were constructed above the ruins of the Roman fortress to be used as a fundament. The Hanging Church is a unique church and has a wooden roof in the shape of Noah’s ark. From the 7th century to the 13th century, the Hanging Church served as the residence of the Coptic Patriarch. Al-Moallaqa has witnessed important elections and religious ceremonies.
A total of 110 icons are kept in the Hanging Church, the oldest of which is the “Coptic Mona Lisa” dating back to the 8th century A.D. and representing Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ and John the Baptist. Numerous altar icons date back to the 18th century A.D.
The church of Abu Sarga is the oldest church in Egypt dating back to the 5th century A.D. The church owes its fame to having been constructed upon the crypt of the Holy Family where they stayed for three weeks during their sojourn in Egypt.
According to a biblical narration by evangelist Matthew (Chapter 2), Virgin Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus fled from Palestine to Egypt out of fear from the persecution of the Jewish King Herod the Great. The Holy Family traveled as far as Assiut (“Deir el Muharraq”) and on their way back home spent some weeks in Old Cairo.
The Synagogue of Ben Ezra was originally a church. However, it needed to be sold to pay the annual taxes imposed on the church by the government in 882 A.D. The synagogue is named after Abraham Ben Ezra who bought the church for a sum of 20,000 dinars. The basilican structure with a nave and two aisles is still recognizable. The synagogue has become famous for its Geniza, an archive of ancient Jewish manuscripts, comprising thousands of rare manuscripts.

Where to Go in Cairo, Egypt - Places to Visit in Cairo
Cairo, Egypt - The history, civilization, and the amount of treasure that this country carries always attract the tourists to it. Egypt is filled with lots of sightseeing tours that one should experience and there are different museums, temples, gardens, mosques, and other landmarks which always impress those visiting it.
We have been in Egypt and discovered that all the days one will manage to stay in this country will be filled with plans to be done and which will be related to the things one is supposed to see and which are related to different eras; you could visit those from the Islamic era, those related to the Pharaohs, as well as those which might have been built during the 20th century but still in the early beginning of it.
We are here to help you with some of the places we enjoyed visiting and those which we recommend, both for exploring the history of Egypt as well as for relaxing a little bit in the middle of all the walking you will be involved with.
The first suggestion is the great pyramids of Giza, which will probably already be the first on your list. The pyramids of Giza are from the Pharaonic time and they are the tombs for their owners because they believed in the afterlife and wanted a tomb that would be enough for their bodies as well as their belongings. In the pyramids you could pay a ticket to enter the whole area in general and you could also pay extra fees to enter the pyramid itself from the inside. (
The second Egyptian attraction to shed the lights on is the Egyptian Museum which carries different artifacts that tell people about the history of the country ( Some of these artifacts have been carried out in order to be placed in the new National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. The Egyptian Museum is found in the downtown area - Tahrir square - which means that you could have a walk in this place and see the old buildings which were inspired by the French buildings.
Egypt generally is known to be a place where there aren't lots of green areas to be spotted around but some old Egyptians managed to exert some effort and time to bring out parks to the people. From those which we consider good suggestions, there is Al Andalus park found on El Zamalek island and which was a gift from Khedive Ismail to his wife; the best thing about this park is that you will be walking by the Nile River and will also see some old statues there ( Another park is Al Azhar and this one is considered the largest in Cairo, Egypt, near the old Cairo place and which is one to choose for having dinner or lunch with a view of the citadel and old Cairo. And the last option here is also found in Zamalek and is the aquarium grotto garden which has always been the place for celebrities to have a walk and was even spotted in a lot of black and white Egyptian movies.
The journey is still going on. Since we have mentioned Al Azhar park which is only minutes away from old Cairo, then we have to mention that visiting old Cairo where El Moez street is found is considered a must ( there you will get the chance to see old buildings built in the Islamic design and you will also manage to see different mosques there, not just that, but will come across famous places or museums such as Beit El Sehemy ( Getting done with these attractions, you could have a walk until you reach Khan El Khalili market and enjoy a good cup of mint tea in one of the old Egyptian style coffee shops found there (
Again, there are lots of destinations in Cairo, Egypt, which are too close to one another. In addition to Al Azhar park and old Cairo which are so close, there is also Cairo citadel (also known as Salah Al Din citadel) and the religious community which are all around the same area. In Cairo citadel you will walk there to check different mosques including the most famous one, Muhammad Ali mosque, and different museums as well ( Getting done with the tour in Salah Al Din citadel, you could then move forward to the religious community, the place where the three different religions are found in the same area; the hanging church, Amr Ibn El-Aas mosque, as well as Bin Ezra synagogue (
There are some other landmarks in Cairo which you will need to visit and one of them is Cairo Tower. This tower was considered the tallest building in Africa for 10 years before another was built in South Africa, so it is now considered the tallest in Egypt and North Africa for about 50 years now. This place will give you the chance to view central Cairo from above or even have dinner at the rotating restaurant found up there (

PART ONE
Having departed Sydney on Etihad Airways we arrived at Cairo International Airport on a warm September afternoon.
After passing through immigration, we were met and transferred to the stunning Oberoi Mena House Hotel in Giza. Each of our rooms had stunning views of the awe inspiring Pyramids and was the perfect place to start our explorations of this ancient country.
On our first full day we were met by our expert Egyptologist, Mr Amr El Helly, to begin our guided tour of the Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis & Sakkara.
Memphis, the oldest capital of Egypt, is home to the colossal statue of Ramses II and is the most beautiful representation of Ramses II.
Sakkara, is the oldest Ancient Egyptian cemetery. It lies on a desert plateau, southwest of Cairo.
The day continued with an unforgettable tour of the Pyramids, considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Nearby is the mysterious Sphinx, carved from a single block of stone. **The video also contains some rare black and white photos of the Pyramids, and includes pictures of the Sphinx when it was first discovered buried in the sand.**
The day finished off with a visit to the Sound & Light Show on the Giza Plateau.

Cairo (Arabic: القاهرة al-Qāhira) is the capital of Egypt and the largest city in the Arab World.[1] Nicknamed The City of a Thousand Minarets for its preponderance of Islamic architecture, Cairo has long been a center of the region's political and cultural life. Even before Cairo was established in the tenth century, the land composing the present-day city was the site of national capitals whose remnants remain visible in parts of Old Cairo. Cairo is also associated with Ancient Egypt due to its proximity to the Great Sphinx and the pyramids in nearby Giza.
Egyptians today often refer to Cairo as Maṣr (Arabic: مصر), the Egyptian Arabic pronunciation of the Arabic name for Egypt itself, emphasizing the city's continued role in Egyptian influence. Cairo has the oldest and largest film and music industries in the Arab World, as well as the world's second-oldest institution of higher learning, al-Azhar University. Many international media, businesses, and organizations have regional headquarters in the city, and the Arab League has been based in Cairo for most of its existence.
With a population of 6.8 million[2] spread over 214 square kilometers (83 sq mi), Cairo is by far the largest city in Egypt. With an additional ten million inhabitants just outside the city, Cairo resides at the center of the largest metropolitan area in Africa and the eleventh-largest urban area in the world.[1] Cairo, like many large cities in developing countries, suffers from high levels of pollution and traffic, but its metro currently the only on the African continent also ranks among the fifteen busiest in the world,[3] with over 700 million passenger rides annually.
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum, is home to the most extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in the world. It has 136,000 items on display, with many more hundreds of thousands in its basement storerooms
Khan el-Khalili is an ancient shopping area, nothing less, but some of the shops have also their own little factories or workshops.
The suq (which is the Arabic name for bazaar, or market) dates back to 1382, when Emir Djaharks el-Khalili built a big caravanserai (or khan) right here. A caravanserai was a sort of hotel for traders, and usually the focal point for economic activity for any surrounding area. This caravanserai is still there, you just ask for the narrow street of Sikka Khan el-Khalili and Badestan.
The part of Cairo that contains Coptic Cairo and Fostat, which contains the Coptic Museum, Babylon Fortress, Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George, many other Coptic churches, the Ben Ezra Synagogue and Amr ibn al-'As Mosque.
The Cairo Tower is a free-standing concrete TV tower in Cairo. It stands in the Zamalek district on Gezira Island in the Nile River, in the city centre. At 187 meters, it is 43 meters higher than the Great Pyramid of Giza, which stands some 15 km to the southwest.
Over the ages, and as far back as four thousand years, Egypt stood as the land where civilizations have always met.[citation needed] The Pharaohs together with the Greeks and the Romans have left their imprints here. Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula, led by Amr ibn al-A'as, introduced Islam into Egypt. Khedive Mohammad Ali, with his Albanian family roots, put Egypt on the road to modernity. If anything, the cultural mix in this country is natural, given its heritage. Egypt can be likened to an open museum with monuments of the different historical periods on display everywhere.
