This is one of the most great Egyptian attractions that one must see, but I believe that it needs proper facilities for tourists such as : clean and decent toilets, nice cafes, good restaurants and trusted antique shops. I felt as going to a military castle due to the enormous number of security gates and soldiers . I only recommend... More

The Citadel is a must see!!! The beautiful gardens are awesome. Take your time to walk around and see as much as you can. You won't be diappointed!

Of the many mosques you might be exposed to in the Middle East, the one at the Citadel is one of the easiest to enjoy. It is qualified as a "tourist" mosque, so the restrictions are less. However, you should still dress and act respectfully. Make sure your shoulders and knees are covered.

The title gets to the point. This is a must see location in Cairo if for no other reason than the view. The mosques are very impressive architecturally.

If you have a free day in your trip to Cairo don't forget to visit Citadel. We loved amazing Cairo city views from there. You'll see Mohammed Ali's Mosque, War musum and many other interesting buildings, museums etc....... There is a small shop outside of Mohamed Ali's Mosque where an old man makes fez.

Great views of Cairo from the terraces here, but don't go if its overcast or dusty as you wont see a thing. wait for a clear day to make the most of the views.

Well worth seeing Ali mosque but u must not miss the wonderful military museum it's enormous!!! Full of loads of goodies ... The usual of course take water with u as its very expensive on site!!!

The Citadel is a must not just for the mosque, the museum, the view of the city but also for the cultural events performed there. I was there a year ago this year however I have been many many times over the last 20 years.
