In Saad Zagloul Square (where the Hotel Cecil can be found) stands a statue of Cleopatra represented as the goddess Isis. Until the nineteenth century, two obelisks, “the needles of Cleopatra”, rose in the middle of the square. Today, one can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of New York and the other in London.
