  • Cairo Citadel

    The Citadel of Cairo or Citadel of Saladin is a medieval Islamic-era fortification in Cairo, Egypt, built by Salah ad-Din (Saladin) and further developed by subsequent Egyptian rulers. It was the seat of government in Egypt and the residence of its rulers for nearly 700 years from the 13th to the 19th centuries. Its location on a promontory of the Mokattam hills near the center of Cairo commands a strategic position overlooking the city and dominating its skyline. At the time of its construction, it was among the most impressive and ambitious military fortification projects of its time. It is now a preserved historic site, including mosques and museums.

Nice trip to the citadel

Published on Nov, 2024

Good way to spend a few hours, the citadel and the mosques inside are impressive. Mario is an excellent and informative guide. We finished early as we made good time, so he offered to keep exploring the area since we still had time left; definitely very helpful.

Best trip to Alexandria. VIP experience

Published on Nov, 2024

We used Twitter Egypt Travel for many trips. On of the was a day trip to Alexandria. It was my husband dream to visit the city of Cleopatra and Alexander the great. 2 Marios accompanied us to our trip: Mario our driver and Mario our tour guide. It was a custom trip based on our site preferences. We visited the catacombs, the library of Alexandria and the Citadel. We stopped to have a nice lunch in a seafood restaurant on the Mediterranean sea. It was a great day. Mario x 2 did a fantastic job and were very reliable and ensured we had a great time. Thank you Mario and Mario for an unforgettable day. Mary & Stephane from Canada.
