The Citadel of Saladin is one of Cairo's most important historic and military landmarks, and also offers one of the best panoramic views over the entire city.
Mohamed Ali Mosque (the Alabaster Mosque): built in a distinctive Ottoman style and named for the alabaster stone covering it inside and out — one of the most photographed landmarks in Cairo.
Al-Nasir Mohammed Mosque: another historic mosque within the Citadel walls, with Mamluk architecture entirely different from Mohamed Ali's.
The panoramic view: from the Citadel's highest point, you can see both old and new Cairo in the same frame — one of the best photo spots in the city, especially at sunset.
Location: the Citadel sits on a hill in historic Cairo, close to other sites like the Sultan Hassan Mosque.
Tip: reaching the Citadel involves some stairs and walking, so comfortable shoes help, and the ideal time is an hour before sunset to catch the view in both daylight and dusk.
