Bloody Ancient Gate in Islamic Cairo, Egypt

Through the ancient, sprawling backstreets of Islamic Cairo you will find a gate which has been standing for almost a thousand years, Bab Zuwayla. From stories of executions, beheadings and weaponized boiling oil, this old city gate of ancient Cairo has a story to tell. Come with me today and hear the history, climb the minarets, and get a view of the City of a Thousand Minarets that will bring you back in time. Welcome to the channel! My name's Gisselle, I'm a budget traveler and have been to 6 out of the 7 continents, visiting 20+ countries, living for some time in Sydney, Australia as well as in Saigon, Vietnam. I am currently based in Cairo, Egypt and exploring all this beautiful country has to offer while visiting nearby countries as well. I am a lover of language and a culturally curious lady just making my way through life one day at a time. I live to learn, I love to travel and explore, try new things and meet interesting people anywhere and everywhere in the world. Come along with me as I solo travel the globe and discover fascinating new places, try delicious local food, meet lovely people, and share a moment in time on this beautiful planet, our Earth.
