On this last day, we visited the Citadel, a spectacular medieval fortress dating from the 12th century and perched on a hill above the city. Also located in the citadel was the Mosque and tomb of the great Ottoman ruler Mohamed Ali.
We ate lunch at the Arabian style “Naguib Mahfouz” restaurant and strolled around the old walled city of Cairo, seeing busy local markets. The restaurant was named after the Nobel-prize-winning Egyptian author.
