Citywalk l Squares and Markets

The tour aims to provide an introduction to the history of the different markets and squares in one of the most important areas of historic Cairo. It begins in al-Sayyida Nafisa Square and sets off through al-Qabr al-Tawil Street, which leads to al-Sayyida Aisha Square, Bab al-Qarafa, Souq al-Imam (known as Souq al-Hamam) and al-Masih mosque!!. The route then reaches the mosque of Sultan Ghuri and Mahatta al-Mahmal, the departure point for journeys to the Hijaz, followed by Rumaila Square and the museum and tomb of Mustafa Kamel Pasha. The last stop is al-Sayyida Aisha market, where you can buy fruit, vegetables, fish, and anything else you might want.
The tour will take place outside, in the streets and squares, so we advise you to wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and to bring a bottle of water and a hat with you.
The tour is designed and organised by the initiative ‘Athar Lina’ (‘the monument is ours’) with the cooperation of the administration of Historic Cairo within the Ministry of Antiquities.
