A
Obelisk of Senusert
As far as sights go, there's the Obelisk of Senusert, which you'll pass coming in from Cairo at the centre of a roundabout to the northeast of town. Although it looks lost among the cars and buses, it's supposedly the only obelisk in Egypt with a rounded top, and it also features a cleft in which a golden statue of Ra was placed, reflecting the sun's rays in the four directions of the wind.
