6th of October Panorama

[1] Constructed over an area of 7.5 feddans (around 32,000 square metres),[2] it was inaugurated on 5 October 1989 by former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

It was built as a cylindrical fort-like building molded in Islamic architectural style[2] with partial assistance from a group of North Korean architects and is run by the Egyptian National Military Museums Department.

[3] The spacious outdoors display area lies across from the Panorama building.

These include tanks, aircraft and weaponry that belonged to both Egypt and Israel.

[6] Visitors sit on a rotating platform to view a 360 degree war film featuring Egyptian soldiers storming the Bar-Lev Line on the Suez Canal,[7] which is documented on a huge mural.
