The Coptic Museum found in Old Cairo is open daily from 9am to 5pm, it was first founded in 1910 AD and homes over 16,000 different artifacts that have been discovered and has been displayed in terms of its chronological age. The most modern of attractions in the area and perhaps one of the best exhibits to see when visit is the Babylon Fort which was used throughout the Roman period, it lies over a range of 8,000 square meters and it includes various buildings and even gardens. Apart from the Roman fort you have the chance to see many artifacts from pottery to manuscripts and textiles from different periods of the eras. It is an attraction that is ideal for people of all ages and it gives you the chance to experience how people of the ancient times once lived. The cost of entry to the museum is just 16 Egyptian pounds which for a day’s entertainment is great value for money.
If traditional Italian cuisine is more to your liking then a visit to the highly popular Cortigiano restaurant in Mohandissen, Cairo should sort out your appetite. It offers a relaxing yet inviting dining area and it is known for this restaurant to have massive services so make sure you have the room for one of their well prepared meals. The menu comprises of plenty of salads and soups but main courses and entrees range from pasta to Italian seafood.
If you prefer then there is an equally large selection of pizzas but the best meal to try is the veal cordon bleu which is stuffed with mushrooms and coated with cheese and tomatoes. The restaurant is open from 1pm to 1am daily and booking is very advisable because with a family meal costing around $50 you are getting good value for money and most importantly tasty portions that are large in size.
