al-Qāhirah (Cairo)

Worth visiting!

Islamic Cairo is not that simple!

“Islamic Cairo” seems like one place where you go take a look, some photos and that’s it.
But in fact Islamic Cairo is a hugh place!

It’s hard to talk about a place that large, so I will just say that Islamic Cairo is a whole city inside the city, with many sites to see. But What I think is really more important among them all:
- Khan El-Khalyly
- El-Soltan Hassan mosque and El-Refayy mosque (they are considered to be the most beautiful mosques in Islamic countries.)
- Saladdin Citadel
- Ibn Touloun mosque

And many many other places that I will try to talk about here later.
Enjoy your trip :)

Cairo

the city of
sheikhs, camels, limes, palms, harems, nargiles, pyramids, noise, music, stinginess, aphrodisacs, steam bath, the city where laziness was invented
the city with the Ministry of Starting
where everything is “o.k.” and happens “around here” and “in five minutes”...
where I saw flamingos for the first time
where the first time gave a carrot to the giraffe, and it kissed me:)

you know how it is with first times;)
