Inside Cairo's Citadel & Muhammad Ali Mosque 🇪🇬 | Egypt Vlog 440 | قلعة القاهرة ومسجد محمد علي

This historic fortress has dominated Cairo's skyline for over 840 years, offers some of the best views in the city, and is definitely worth a visit. From its fascinating history to ticket prices, opening hours, and a complete walkthrough of the Citadel's layout - including every major attraction inside - this is your ultimate guide to the Citadel of Salah al-Din. Also known as the Citadel of Saladin or simply the Cairo Citadel, it's often mistaken for the Muhammad Ali Mosque, but they're not the same! I'll explain the difference in this video - so let's dive in. Citadel of Salah al Din location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/rjpUzBE9Q9XNz...
