Walk down the historic streets of Islamic Cairo, an atmospheric district of mosques, madrasas, merchant houses, and fountains that together form part of a World Heritage Site. Retaining many of its traditional buildings, the area stands in contrast to the modern sections of the city and the suburbs that surround it, with medieval landmarks and historic places of pilgrimage topping most sightseeing tours. Despite its storied sites and standout buildings, the district remains a place of everyday life, with a bustling market and a number of traditional teahouses and restaurants frequented by locals.

The Islamic part in the historic center or old Cairo is the best place to see the local culture, you have to get lost in its streets like the Al Fatimi, tour the market Khan El Khalily, visit some mosque of the hundreds that are over there, although not all you can enter, I have a very pleasant impact, you have to visit it both day and night where an incredible, unmissable move to sit in the square to take you... I will never forget those beautiful days...View original -
