Overflowing with history, Al-Azhar University has long been an institute for groundbreaking research and great ideas. See if you can tour the campus and talk to some of the staff and students about their studies.

Many travelers to Islamic Cairo have this historic university on their agenda. But Al-Azhar University is just one of many spots worth a visit in the area. If you've got time for more, Egyptian Museum will keep you busy.

The motel and staff were wonderful. The surrounding area is just like you see on news. There is dead cats, dogs and a lot of trash on the sidewalks. Children and adults begging for money. Can not walk feet without someone trying to sell you something. And no doesn't mean much to them. So if you are not ready to see the real world it's not for you. For me it opened my eyes 😟. But on other note all the guided tours are awesome.
