The Citadel of Cairo or Citadel of Saladin (Arabic: قلعة صلاح الدين, romanized: Qalaʿat Salāḥ ad-Dīn) is a medieval Islamic-era fortification in Cairo, Egypt, built by Salah ad-Din (Saladin) and further developed by subsequent Egyptian rulers. It was the seat of government in Egypt and the residence of its rulers for nearly 700 years from the 13th to the 19th centuries. Its location on a promontory of the Mokattam hills near the center of Cairo commands a strategic position overlooking the city and dominating its skyline. When it was constructed it was among the most impressive and ambitious military fortification projects of its time. It is now a preserved historic site, including mosques and museums.

The City of the Dead is a cemetery outside Cairo, and it is also a very old city remnant area. Visiting here can learn about the ancient burial history of Egypt, a very traditional place, and you can see a lot of locals in Cairo.

In Cairo, buildings are everywhere are mosques and minaret, which in Arabic is called "Minar", a place where minaret workers stand and call people to pray. Since the 7th century, with the wide spread of Islam in Western Asia and North Africa, the art of mosque architecture has been continuously developed, and the minaret has evolved into a variety of different styles, becoming an indispensable part of mosque architecture, a highlight of Cairo city.

Under the signboard of the relics of world civilization, you have to go once. Unless you really have research or love this thing, it feels like ordinary people will not choose to come for the second time. There is no difference in following up the village, the smell of shit is heavy, the quality of the locals is not high, go in to ride a horse and camel, in addition to the money that should be given, there are tips, anyway, it is a common phenomenon in places with poor living standards, so no matter what you do, keep an eye on it.

Guli Palace was originally a royal palace, from the perspective of architecture professionalism, this palace is a typical diversity and unity representative, the small dome is very eye-catching, and for this reason, an asymmetric high tower is designed to balance the center of gravity, and now it is a dance performance venue.
