Islamic Cairo
Cairo, Egypt, designed in an Islamic fashion.
Cairo is a city that never sleeps. In order to understand Cairo, one must consider the person responsible for building it and the motives behind its creation.
Gawhar el Saqalbi established Cairo while the Fatimids conquered Egypt Tours. Upon his attempt to conquer Egypt, Caliph el Moaz ordered his vizir Gawhar to maintain security in the region. Subsequently, Gawhar converted Egypt into the new capital where families could live apart from the local inhabitants. During el Mostanser's rule as the Fatimid Caliph, his advisor Badr el Din el Gamally upgraded the city's wooden doors to a new stone gate in order to fend off potential attacks from the public. Even though some of the Fatimid walls have deteriorated, there are still many artifacts and lovely mosques that line the historic streets of Al-Qahirah. Islamic Cairo stands out from other ancient areas by staying lively within the city and being a common destination on all day trips in Cairo. Palaces and official buildings were constructed in Al-Qahira during its initial founding, and after a siege in the 12th century, the people of Cairo moved to the fortified city and have remained there ever since. Even though the structures are decaying and infrastructure is in progress, Islamic Cairo is regarded as one of the more advanced sections of the city.
