El-Tahrir Square - Tahrir Square is a public area near the Nile River in downtown Cairo, Egypt. Originally named Ismailia Square after the 19th-century ruler Khedive Ismail, it was renamed Tahrir Square in the 1950s.
The square became a central point for the Egyptian Revolution in 2011, when demonstrators occupied it for 18 days, from January 25 to February 11. The protests led to the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. Since then, Tahrir Square has hosted numerous other protests, including those against the military government that assumed power after Mubarak’s resignation and the 2013 Egyptian coup d’état.
Tahrir Square is a significant symbol of the Egyptian people’s quest for democracy and freedom. It is a place where Egyptians can unite to express their grievances and demand change. The square represents the Egyptian people’s resolve to achieve their objectives and will continue to be a vital part of Egypt’s history.

Sharia Al Mu’izz Li-Din Allah - Walking along Al Muizz (Muizz Street or Street of Al Moez) is like journeying through the history of Islamic Egypt. The street is rich with a multitude of grand and magnificent Islamic monuments. This Cairo district is a truly unique architectural ensemble.
Muizz Street is the largest open museum of Islamic monuments in the world, featuring various structures: mosques, gates, avenues, and palaces, established over 1040 years. It also houses the most important textile museum, which contains 250 rare pieces.
- Wekalet El Ghoury - The Ghouriyya Complex is located just south of Al-Azhar Street at the start of the southern section of Al-Muizz Street leading to Bab Zuweila. On the east side of the street is the mausoleum that Al-Ghuri built for himself. Unfortunately, his remains were lost in battle with the Ottomans and never interred there.
On the west side is a madrassa-style mosque that features one of the tallest minarets in Cairo. Its ceiling once supported the largest dome in the city, but it repeatedly collapsed and has been replaced by a simple flat wooden roof.
- Al-Hussein Mosque - A destination that all types of travelers can appreciate. The mosque is named after the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson, Hussein ibn Ali, and is considered one of the holiest Islamic sites in Egypt. Non-Muslim tourists are welcome to visit the mosque. Located in Cairo, it is situated near the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, in the heart of Islamic Cairo.
