Dokki is one of the residential areas in the northeastern part of Cairo, the Egyptian capital. The area lies close to the Nile, and is known more for its posh residential apartments than sightseeing destinations.
The Pyramid Road from Dokki leads to the Great Pyramids. The Great Pyramids are a unit of three pyramids that were the last resting place of the pharaohs of Egypt. The Khufu pyramid is the largest of the great Pyramids.
Also close to Dokki are Saqquara and Memphis, old Egyptian cities that are home to tombs and temples dating back to the Pharaonic Era. The Muquattam Hills and many Coptic Churches, Mosques and Monuments are found in the areas surrounding Dokki.
