The
Citadel
The Citadel is a fortified
enclosure that sits on a bluff that overlooks
Cairo. It was fortified in Medieval times by
Saladin who is the Arabic warrior made famous by the
Crusades chronicles. In more modern times Mohomed
Ali, a famous ruler who ruled Egypt as Pasha under the
Ottoman Empire, built his palaces and this magnificent
mosque in the enclosure.
