Cairo Citadel, Cairo, Egypt - The huge ancient fortification that is found near the center of Cairo, Egypt, and which hosts a long walk, museums, and also is the place where Muhammad Ali Mosque is found (   • Muhammad Ali Mosque, Cairo; An Old Hi...  ). The history of Egypt is so stuffed with information and places to see that make this country one of the most beautiful historical destinations to head to if all what you want to see is museums, citadels, and other places that reveal more about its history. The Citadel of Cairo is known as Salah El-Din Citadel since Salah El-Din, the Ayyubid ruler, was the one to build it surrounding both Cairo and Fustat and protect them from crusaders. Salah El-Din once said that this wall will make both Cairo and Fustat whole. Being located on Mokattam hill, which is now a famous residence area that is just across the Citadel, Salah El-Din Citadel has always been famous for its fresh breeze and the different views of Cairo city that it could offer, because it lies on a higher level than the rest of the residences found around it in the same area. Being one of the famous historical attractions and which was even proclaimed previously by UNESCO as part of the World Heritage Site Historic Cairo and was the center of the new Islamic world, this citadel is now one of the top destinations that tourists place on their to-do list in Egypt to get astonished with all the scenes they could manage to see inside. There are different things to come across inside this citadel, there are three different mosques to enter; there is the most famous which is Muhammad Ali Mosque and which not only astonishes the visitors from the inside, but it also gives them the chance to take pictures of Cairo from the grand view it offers. There is also Al-Nasir Muhammad Mosque and Sulyman Pasha Mosque. In addition to the mosques, there are also three different museums to get inside and see the rare items they carry, which are: Al Gawhara Palace, the Carriage Museum, and the Egyptian Military museum. From the different tips that we would offer is for women to have something in order to cover their head while entering the museums - keeping in mind that the outfit should be appropriate as well, and the second tip is for visitors to bring their water along because they will do a lot of walking inside and the prices there might be a little bit more expensive than the ordinary markets in the streets. This is a great place for tourists to spend their day - because it probably needs a couple of hours inside for the different historical treasures that one needs to check. The architectural design of the place make it a highlight in addition to the rich history about Egypt that one will be introduced to there. Cairo Citadel working hours are every day from 9 AM until 4 PM, the only difference might occur in the mosques inside on Friday during Friday prayers; the mosques might not allow visitors, only those who want to pray. Cairo citadel entrance fees are 60 Egyptian pounds for foreigners. The amount of time spent inside the citadel will always differ from one person to another according to the things they will be seeing and the things they will enter, but all in all, it will never take less than an hour, you will spend some time there.
