PHARAOHS

Key Locations

As we began our project looking at the lives and culture of the Ancient Egyptians, we researched the geography of the country. We located the modern day capital city of Cairo, plotted the River Nile, found the location of the history rich Giza (home of the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx) and the modern city of Luxor which is built on the remains of the Pharaoh's capital Thebes. During our atlas work we also discovered a city named Alexandria, which we learnt was named after its founder King Alexander the Great of Macedon.
