The Mosque of Muhammad Ali is located inside the Citadel of Salah al‑Din al‑Ayyubi (Saladin) in Cairo.

The Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings, located across the Nile from ancient Thebes (modern Luxor), served as the burial site for rulers of Egypt’s 18th–20th Dynasties (c. 1550–1069 BC), along with some royal family members and a few high-ranking non-royals.
The Tomb of King Tut Ankh Amun
The tomb of King Tutankhamun (c. 1336–1327 BC) is famous as the only largely intact royal tomb found in the Valley of the Kings, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, revealing priceless golden artifacts.
The Tomb of King Ramses VI
This tomb was begun by King Ramesses V (c.1147–1143 BC) of the Twentieth Dynasty. Although it is uncertain whether he was ultimately buried here, it is clear that his uncle Ramesses VI (c.1143–1136 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.1294–1279 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 “Belzoni’s tomb” after its discoverer.
The Tomb of King Merenptah
Merenptah’s tomb, the Valley of the Kings’ second-largest, shows ancient Greek and Coptic graffiti; floods damaged its lower walls, but upper reliefs remain well preserved.
The Tomb of King Ramses III
KV 11, a popular and well-preserved tomb, was begun by Sethnakht (1186–1184 BC) but completed by Ramses III (1184–1153 BC) after hitting another tomb’s shaft.
The Tomb of King Ramses IV
Originally intended to be much larger, KV 2 was cut short at 89m on the early death of the pharaoh (1147 BC) and a pillared hall was converted to be the burial chamber. The sarcophagus is in place with a magnificent goddess Nut filling the ceiling above it.
The Temple of Hatshepsut
Hatshepsut (c. 1473–1458 BC), the queen-turned-pharaoh, built the impressive Djeser-djeseru temple at Deir al-Bahari, across the Nile from Karnak, designed by her chief steward Senenmut.
