Citadel, Mosques and Bazaar
Overview
Perched high on a steep slope in Cairo is the Citadel of Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi (Saladin), the towering minarets of the Muhammad Ali Mosque looking out across Islamic Cairo and beyond. Take a private tour inside this structure, then continue to the Sultan Hassan Mosque, one of the largest mosques in Egypt, as well as the Al-Rifa'i "Royal" Mosque.
