One such example is the Salah El-Din or Saladin Citadel. It is one of the greatest monuments to medieval warfare in the world. At the citadel, you’ll see high defending walls, large imposing gateways as well as towers, things you’d typically find in a medieval fortress.
The fortress houses three mosques, one of which is the amazing Mohamed Ali Mosque, a military museum, a carriage museum, and a garden museum.
Other religious sites in Islamic Cairo include the Al Azhar mosque, the Sultan Hassan mosque, and the Rifai mosque, all of which are worth a visit.
