Week 2

There are three historical landmarks I will be visiting in Cairo, Egypt. The first place is the Great Sphinx which is said to be more than 4000 years old. It sits there gaurding the Great Pyramids in Giza. This is a great and or high encountered tourist attraction. The Great Sphinx got its name because the people saw a body of a lion and a head of a man. The next place I will be visiting is the Citadel. It is said to be one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cario. This was started by Saladin in 1176 and completed by the sultans that followed. The Citadel was believed to be one of the world's greatest monuments is famous for its museums, mosques, and for its stone fort. The last place I will be visiting is the Cairo Tower. The Cairo Tower is one of the other most popular tourist attractions. This is made as an excuse to most poeple in Egypt just because there is a restaurant on the top floors of this building and poeple say they are going to eat but really they are just going to see the veiw of the desert floor and the cool statues seen far out.
