  • The Imperial Seat of Power: The Citadel of Saladin The magnificent stone fortress rising proudly above the rolling hills serves as a breathtaking centerpiece during your luxury Old Cairo Tour. Constructed late in the twelfth century by the famous ruler Saladin El Ayouby, this massive UNESCO World Heritage Site was designed to defend the historic capital against Crusader forces, serving as the absolute center of local government for generations.
