Egypt’s Islamic Attractions show that Egypt went through a golden period of Islamic development when the rest of the world was drowning in the Middle Ages’ gloom. General Amr ibn al-‘As invaded Egypt in 641 AD and built a new city named Al-Fustat, which subsequently became Cairo, the eternal heart of Egypt and Islamic civilization for the following 1200 years. Cairo earned the nickname “City of Minarets” for having the highest concentration of mosques packed with exquisite Islamic architecture.
Cairo has long served as an inspiration for many works of art, making it a top destination for Egypt tours. The city’s Islamic landmarks represent the dynasties that ruled Egypt for centuries, including the Abbasid, Fatimid, Ayyubid, Mamluk, and Ottoman empires. Each monument tells a story, showcasing the unique beauty of Islamic architecture.
Step into a world of mesmerizing beauty. Cairo’s Islamic attractions demonstrate a new definition of art and craftsmanship. You’ll find a distinct architectural style and stunning decorations. Be captivated by the hypnotic, gold-written Quranic calligraphy found on so many of these timeless buildings.
