Location City -  Cairo
State - 
Country - Egypt   Egypt
About In 969 AD, the Fatimids built a new capital for Egypt and the new city became Egypt's capital eversince. In 988 AD, El Azhar was erected and gained through ages importance and effectiveness. Walls and gates that witnessed many important events throughout history surrounded Cairo then.

El Fustat, first capital built by the Arabs after Amr Ibn Elass conquest in 642, lie north Cairo, and his mosque still standing in the area is an alive evidence of that period when a new history had started for Egypt. New capitals followed El Askar 751AD northeast the previous city and El Katae 870 AD where Ibn Touloun built his famous mosque still lying intact in the area over mount Yaskor. Gawhar El Sequelly built Cairo and surrounded the city with mudbrick walls starting from Bab El Khalk square to the south to join Mokattam hills through Bab Zweila and Bawabet El Metwalli. The western side of the wall starts from Bab El Sheereya Square to Bab El Fettouh and Bab El Nasr. The city was meant to be a residential quarter for El Moez Le Din Allah, the Fatimid Caliph who moved with his family from El Maghreb to Egypt.

El Moez Le Din Allah street is an eloquent witness for historical Cairo with the various monuments spread along both sides of the street.

This stunning image is fantastically composed Wael! The beauty of these towers is remarkable, and all the more so with inclusion of the people who live and work in the shadow of this historic arcgitecture. The streetlife you have shown in this scene brings a human aspect to the sublime architecture and places it in the reality of everyday life. And a very well balanced and framed composition as well! The accent colors on the near buildings attract and anchor the eye without distracting from the majesty of the towers. Excellent work!

A mixture of buildings here. The beautiful and the damaged. There must be story attached to this scene Wael. Sad to see the damage to the nearest building but the majesty of those towers is amazing. Well spotted and taken. Best wishes to you...Ray
