The Salah El Din Citadel is a mediaeval fortress located in Cairo, Egypt. It was built in the 12th century by Saladin, the first Muslim ruler of Egypt, to protect the city from invaders. The citadel is situated on a hill in the center of Cairo and offers panoramic views of the city. The citadel also contains a number of museums that showcase the history and culture of Egypt.

The Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, is a historic mosque located in the Citadel of Cairo, Egypt. It was built between 1828 and 1848 by the Ottoman ruler Muhammad Ali Pasha and is considered one of the most impressive examples of Ottoman architecture in Egypt. The mosque features a large central dome and four smaller domes, as well as intricate decoration and calligraphy.

Lunch will be offered at a local restaurant then move to visit:

The Sultan Hassan Madrasa and Mosque is a 14th-century Islamic school and mosque located in Cairo, Egypt. It was built by the Bahri Mamluk sultan, Al-Nasir Hassan, between 1356 and 1363. The complex is considered one of the most important examples of Mamluk architecture and is known for its large size and intricate decoration, including ornate tilework and calligraphy. The complex also includes a mausoleum for the sultan and his family.

The Al-Rifa'i Mosque is a historical mosque that is considered one of the largest and most ornate mosques in Egypt. The mosque was built in two phases: the first phase was built between 1869 and 1912 by the Khedive Ismail Pasha, while the second phase was completed in 1955. The mosque is known for its intricate decoration, including marble, gold leaf, and colorful glass mosaics. The mosque also features two large domes and four minarets.

The Ibn Tulun Mosque is the oldest mosque in the city that retains its original form and is considered one of the most significant early Islamic monuments in Egypt. The mosque was built by the Abbasid governor Ahmad ibn Tulun in the 9th century and is known for its large size and unique architectural style, which combines elements of the Abbasid and local Egyptian traditions. The mosque features a large central courtyard surrounded by a colonnaded arcade and a minaret that is one of the oldest and tallest in Egypt.

Al-Muizz Street is considered one of the oldest streets in the city. The street dates back to the Fatimid period (909–1171) and runs for over a kilometer, connecting the Bab al-Futuh in the north to the Bab Zuweila in the south. The street is also known for its well-preserved mediaeval architecture, including houses and palaces from the Fatimid period.

Khan El-Khalili is a famous bazaar and souk in the heart of the Islamic district of Cairo, Egypt. It is known for its vibrant atmosphere, bustling streets, and historic architecture. The bazaar dates back to the 14th century and was named after a khan (caravan inn) built by Emir Djaharks el-Khalili in the 14th century. The bazaar is home to hundreds of shops selling various goods such as spices, textiles, perfumes, jewelry, and traditional crafts. It is also famous for its traditional coffeehouses and restaurants.
