About Medieval Cairo

Medieval Cairo, or Islamic Cairo, encompasses areas built during the Middle Ages after the Muslim conquest in 641 CE until the 19th century. It includes the old walled city, featuring landmarks like the Cairo Citadel, Al-Azhar Mosque, and Khan el-Khalili market. During this period, Cairo thrived as a center of trade and education, fostering a rich cultural scene. Today, visitors can explore these historical sites, and there’s a growing effort to preserve the city’s cultural heritage, making Islamic Cairo a key destination for those interested in Egypt’s medieval history.
