Cairo was founded in 969 AD by the Fatimid dynasty near older centers like Memphis and the Giza necropolis; the city preserves layers from Pharaonic, Greco-Roman and Islamic eras.
Conservation
High visitation strains fragile sites—follow marked paths, avoid touching reliefs or artifacts, and use provided water rather than single-use plastic where possible.
