Salah El-Din Citadel is one of the most prestigious military castles constructed in the Middle Ages. Its strategic location controls the cities of Cairo and Al Fustat, providing defensive importance. The Citadel was erected during the 12th century to defend Cairo against the Crusaders and served as the seat of the government during the ruling periods of the Ayyubids, Mamluks, and Ottomans.
Mohamed Ali Mosque proudly stands as the highest point inside Cairo Citadel. It was established by Mohammed Ali Pasha in 1830 AD, with construction continuing until his death in 1848 AD. The exterior design was inspired by the Sultan Ahmad Mosque in Istanbul, and it is one of the most significant Islamic attractions in Cairo.

Sultan Hassan Madrassa and Mosque is one of the rarest examples of early Mamluk architecture, founded between 1356 AD and 1363 AD. Built out of giant blocks of stone, it symbolizes the culmination of architectural projects during the Mamluk reign.
Another impressive Islamic monument in Cairo, Al Rifai Mosque, was founded by Khoshiar Hanim, the mother of Khedive Ismail. Construction began in 1869 AD and was completed in 1911 AD, with a 25-year hiatus from 1880 to 1905 AD. The mosque serves as the burial site for Mohamed Ali's family members.
The oldest and largest mosque in Cairo, Ibn Tulun Mosque, was established between 876 and 879 AD by Ahmed Ibn Tulun, commissioned by the Abbasid Caliph to govern Al Fustat. The mosque's interior design reflects the Abbasid architectural style, featuring beautifully decorated arches and a large courtyard.
