• Islamic Cairo - Islamic Cairo (Qahirat al-Maez) is a central part of Cairo surrounding the old walled city and the Citadel of Cairo. It is renowned for its numerous mosques, tombs, madrasas, mansions, caravanserais, and fortifications from the Islamic era.[1] In 1979, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated Historic Cairo as a World Cultural Heritage site, recognizing it as “one of the world’s oldest Islamic cities, with its renowned mosques, madrasas, hammams, and fountains, and as the new center of the Islamic world, reaching its peak in the 14th century.”
• Sharia Al Mu’izz Li-Din Allah - Sharia Al Mu’izz Li-Din Allah, Cairo, Egypt

Muizz Street (Shariʻa al-Muizz li-Din Illah), also known as Al Moez Ldin Allah Al Fatimi Street in Islamic Cairo, Egypt, is one of Cairo’s oldest streets, stretching approximately one kilometer. A United Nations study identified it as having the highest concentration of medieval architectural treasures in the Islamic world. The street (shariʻa in Arabic) is named after Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah, the fourth caliph of the Fatimid dynasty. It extends from Bab Al-Futuh in the north to Bab Zuweila in the south. Beginning in 1997,[2][3] the national government undertook extensive renovations of the historical buildings, modern structures, paving, and sewerage to transform the street into an “open-air museum.” On April 24, 2008, Al-Muizz Street was designated as a pedestrian-only zone from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm, with cargo traffic permitted outside these hours.

The northern section of the street runs from the Al-Hakim Mosque in the north to the Spice Market at Al-Azhar Street and includes the antiques markets section, Al-Aqmar Mosque (one of the few remaining Fatimid mosques), the Qalawun complex, and several well-preserved medieval mansions and palaces.

• Bab al-Futuh - Bab al Futuh (Conquest Gate) is one of three remaining gates in the walls of the Old City of Cairo, Egypt. Completed in 1087, it faces north and is located at the northern end of Muizz Street. The other two remaining gates are Bab al-Nasr (Victory Gate) in the north and Bab Zuwayla (Gate of Zuwayla) in the south.

The gate was part of the fortifications built by Commander/Vizier Badr al-Jamali of Fatimid Imam/caliph Mustansir. Its rounded towers provided stronger defense than the square towers of Bab al-Nasr (another Old City gate, just to the east). They featured shafts for pouring boiling water or burning oil on attackers, and arrow slits. The gate is adorned with vegetal and geometric motifs.

• Wekalet El Ghouri Arts Center - The Sultan Al-Ghuri Complex was constructed between 1503 and 1505. This expansive complex includes a khanqah, mausoleum, sebil-kuttab, mosque, and madrasa, and is situated in the Fahhamin Quarter on al Mu’izz li-Din Allah street in Cairo, Egypt. The structure spans both sides of al Mu’izz li-Din Allah street, with the congregational mosque-madrasa on the western side, and the khanqah-mausoleum-sabil-kuttab on the eastern side.
• Bab Zuweila - Bab Zuweila is one of three remaining gates in the walls of the Old City of Cairo, the capital of Egypt. It was also known as Bawabbat al-Mitwali during the Ottoman period and is sometimes spelled Bab Zuwayla. It is regarded as one of the city’s major landmarks and is the last remaining southern gate from the walls of Fatimid Cairo in the 11th and 12th centuries. Its name derives from Bab, meaning “Door,” and Zuwayla, the name of a tribe of Berber warriors from the Western Desert, members of which were tasked with guarding the gate.
• Khan Al-Khalili - Khan El-Khalili is a prominent souk in the historic center of Islamic Cairo. The bazaar district is a major attraction for both tourists and Egyptians.
