The Pyramids are also home to the Sphinx, perhaps the best known monument in the whole of Egypt.]]> Although an incredible amount of Ancient Egyptian remains appear to have migrated across the world, appropriated on somewhat dubious credentials by the nations who funded the vast sweep of digs in the 19th century, the Egyptian Antiquities Museum in Cairo has managed to keep hold of some of the country's finest treasures. Now a century old, even more treasures have been dug up from its bowels for viewing.]]> The enigmatic Sphinx has strong claims to being the most famous (and possibly the oldest) surviving structure in the whole of Egypt. The majestic beast is carved from one vast block of limestone. With the body of a lion and a human head thought to be that of the Pharoah Khafre, the beautiful Sphinx is 240 feet long and 66 feet tall.]]> More than an archive of Coptic history, the Coptic Museum offers a case study in the formative years of a major religion that grew, intermingled, and sometimes borrowed from that of an ancient religion that it was replacing.]]> Cairo's infamous Camel Market is held every Friday in Bilesh, north of the city.
