The Nile River played an important part in the development of early civilization in Egypt, who used the fertile valley along the Nile for farming. The historical sites along the River, especially Cairo and Luxor, are compelling cities. Cairo, Egypt’s capital, is home to the Great Pyramids of Giza and the 496-foot tall pyramid, Cheops. The mosque of Mohammed Ali and the church where the Virgin Mary and Jesus stayed are also in Cairo. In Luxor, the famous Avenue of the Sphinxes dating back to 380 BC is a 2.7 kilometre avenue defined by over 1000 sphinx statues. This site was used for ceremonial processions and connects the Luxor and Karnak temples. The Valley of Kings is the royal burial ground of kings also located in Luxor, and was used between 1539 BC. and 1075 BC.
