On my way to India I am getting only one & a half day in Cairo, Egypt. Please guide me the places I must visit?

Old (Coptic) Cairo Coptic Cairo (Masr al-Qadima) is the oldest part of the city, and is the original site of Roman built Babylon. This part of Cairo has been inhabited for more than 2000 years. It is the center of the Coptic Christian community and where you'll find most of Egypt's churches.

Highlights include the Hanging Church which is the center of Coptic worship and the Ben Ezra synagogue, Egypt's oldest synagogue. Roman remains and old cobbled streets make this area very interesting for the historians among us. The Nile Guide has more information on the sights of Old Cairo.

- Islamic (Medieval) Cairo Worth exploring for its warren like streets and bazaars, Islamic Cairo is where you'll get to see many mosques, the Citadel and the Khan Al-Khalili bazaar. The major mosques worth visiting include the Mosque of Mohammed Ali (named after a 19th century ruler) The Ibn Tulun is one of the largest mosques in the world and the Al-Azhar mosque houses the oldest university in the world (from 970AD). - Egyptian Museum If you visit Luxor you'll find most tombs are empty and what the looters didn't take home with them, ended up here at the Egyptian museum.

Along with mummies, sarcophagi and many other ancient relics this museum represents Egypt's archaeological glory. The Egyptian Museum makes my list of Top Ten Attractions you should see when you visit Egypt. The objects taken from Tutankhamen's tomb should not be missed.

The boy-king's death-mask made of solid gold has been described as the most beautiful object ever made. The museum is open from 9am - 5pm daily. - A Falucca on the Nile - Cairo Tower - Pyramids and the sphinx (though they are actually in GIza, but but bothgiza and cairo are interconnected) -The Pyramids of Giza & the Sphinx.

-The Step Pyramid at Sakkara. -The Open Air Museum of Memphis . -The Pyramids of Dashur.

-The Pyramid of Meidum. -The Castle of Saladin The Old Market "Khan El-Khalili". -The Hanging Church.

-Santa Barbara church . St. Sergious Church. - Coptic Museum -Townhouse Gallery Exhibits -October War Panorama.

Egyptian Museum is a must see. The only thing is, to get into the mummy room, they charge you 100 Egyptian pounds. And taking a boat ride on the nile was great.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
