Cairo Citadel Saladin or Salah Ed-Din in Mokattam Hills in Egypt
There is a brass clock tower in the middle of the northwestern riwak, which was presented to Muhammad Ali by King Louis Philippe of France in 1845. The clock was reciprocated with the obelisk of Luxor now standing in Place de la Concorde in Paris. Funny thing is that the clock has never worked... #Cairo #Egypt

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Great view of Cairo. Museum of military history small and basic but interesting. The most impressive part is the view.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

One of the highlights of my tour. The mosques were absolutely stunning and on a clear day, you can see the Giza Plateaur.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

This was interesting and beautifully laid out. The mosque was not impressive as I've seen the original Blue Mosque in Istanbul.
