El Moez Street Amazing Day Trip from the Airport
Overview
Today we will enjoy one of the private tours in Cairo organized by Cairo Top Tours. We are now going to explore El Moez Street, which dates back to the time of the Fatimid Caliph Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah, who ruled Egypt between 358 and 365 AD/969 and 975 AD as the first Fatimid Caliph of Egypt. Today, however, the street is considered the world's largest open-air museum of Islamic art and a unique heritage site that was included in the World Heritage List in 1979. The name of the street has changed throughout history, until in 1937 it was renamed Al-Muizz Street in honor of the founder of Cairo.
This famous street is located between two gates of the Old Cairo walls, from Bab al-Fath in the north to Bab Zuweila in the south, passing through several historic alleys and streets, the most famous of which are Amir al-Juyush Street, Darb al-Asfar, Haret Burjwan, Khan al-Khalili, and al-Ghouriya.
During our tour of Al-Muizz Street, you will see some of Cairo's most impressive monuments, numbering 29 in total, which reflect the full picture of Islamic Egypt from the 10th to the 19th centuries AD, starting from the Fatimid era in Egypt to the era of the Muhammad Ali dynasty. These monuments vary between religious, residential, commercial, and defensive buildings. Today, markets and traditional handicraft shops line the street, adding to the charm of this historic street.
