A part of one of the oldest Islamic cities in the world, Islamic Cairo is essentially the walled city which was initially called Al-Qahira, most of which was raised by the Fatimid dynasty. This is a vast, busy and colorful area that contains hundreds of mosques, tombs, markets, and citadels. There is the Salah El-Din castle, Sultan Qawalun Mosque, Al-Hakim Mosque, and various minarets.
