Salah Al-Deen (known as Saladin to European historians) overthrew the Fatimid dynasty in 1171 AD, establishing the new Sunni Ayyubid Caliphate.

Saladinβs Citadel served as the seat of government in Egypt for 700 years until Khedive Ismail moved into Abdin Palace in newly constructed Downtown Cairo in the 1870βs.

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali is located inside the Citadel of Salah alβDin alβAyyubi (Saladin) in Cairo.

The Valley of the Kings
The rulers of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties of Egyptβs prosperous New Kingdom (c.1550β1069 BC) were buried in a desolate dry river valley across the river from the ancient city of Thebes (modern Luxor).
The Tomb of King Tut Ankh Amun
The tomb of the Eighteenth Dynasty king Tutankhamun (c.1336β1327 BC) is world-famous because it is the only royal tomb from the Valley of the Kings that was discovered relatively intact. Its discovery in 1922 by Howard Carter made headlines worldwide, and continued to do so as the golden artifacts and other luxurious objects discovered in this tomb.
The Tomb of King Ramses VI
This tomb was begun by King Ramesses V (c.1147β1143 BC) of the Twentieth Dynasty. Although it is uncertain whether he was ultimately buried here, it is clear that his uncle Ramesses VI (c.1143β1136 BC) enlarged the tomb and used it.
The Tomb of King Seti I
The tomb of Sety I is one of the longest, deepest, and most beautifully decorated tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Sety I (c.1294β1279 BC) was the second king of the Nineteenth Dynasty, and father of Ramesses II (the Great). His tomb, number 17 in the Valley of the Kings, is sometimes called βBelzoniβs tombβ after its discoverer.
The Tomb of King Merenptah
Β The second-largest tomb in the valley, Merenptahβs tomb has been open since antiquity and has its share of Greek and Coptic graffiti. Floods have damaged the lower part of the walls of the long tunnel-like tomb, but the upper parts have well-preserved reliefs. The corridors are decorated with the Book of the Dead, the Book of Gates and the Book of Amduat. Beyond a shaft is a false burial chamber with two pillars decorated with the Book of Gates.
The Tomb of King Ramses III
One of the most popular tombs in the valley, KV 11 is also one of the most interesting and best preserved. Originally started by Sethnakht (1186β1184 BC), the project was abandoned when workers hit the shaft of another tomb (KV10). Work resumed under Ramses III (1184β1153 BC), the last of Egyptβs warrior pharaohs, with the corridor turning to the right, then left. It continues deep (125m overall) into the mountain and opens into a magnificent eight-pillared burial chamber.
The Tomb of Tausert & Seth Nakht
Β Tomb KV14Β is a joint tomb, used originally byΒ TausertΒ and then reused and extended byΒ Setnakhte. It has been open sinceΒ antiquity, but was not properly recorded untilΒ Hartwig AltenmΓΌllerΒ excavated it from 1983 to 1987. Located in the main body of theΒ Valley of the Kings, it has two burial chambers, the later extensions making the tomb one of the largest of the Royal Tombs, at over 112 meters long.
The Temple of Hatshepsut
Hatshepsut (c.1473β1458 BC), the queen who became Pharaoh, built a magnificent temple at Deir al-Bahari, on the west back of Luxor. It lies directly across the Nile from Karnak Temple, the main sanctuary of the god Amun. Hatshepsutβs temple, Djeser-djeseru βthe Holy of Holiesβ was designed by the chief steward of Amun, Senenmut.
The Colossi of Memnon
These two faceless colossi (the plural of colossus, which just means larger-than-life statue) are the first thing visitors see when they reach the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor.
