It was the seat of government in Egypt and the residence of its rulers for nearly 700 years from the 13th to the 19th centuries. Its location on a promontory of the Mokattam hills near the center of Cairo commands a strategic position overlooking the city and dominating its skyline.

Really enjoyed our tour to the Museum, Citadel and Market. Our guide was a history teacher and a fountain of knowledge. He really was a great asset to the trip. We learnt so much. The driver was great fun too and was alway cracking jokes with my mum and we had a great time. He was a very skilled driver which is needed in Egypt.
