The Desert of Sinai: Notes of a Spring-journey from Cairo to Beersheba

Guide to Islamic Cairo (Egypt)

Islamic Cairo is a unique location: it is the only place in the world where you can see architectural remains of nearly every great Islamic Empire. In this Approach Guide, we review these architectural gems (chiefly mosques and madrasas) chronologically by empire.

For each Islamic empire that controlled Cairo, we review its history, its key illustrative monuments, the defining characteristics of its architectural style (including its influences), and the contribution it made to the overall Islamic architectural legacy. In order to provide a deeper understanding to those just beginning to examine Islamic architecture, we have included our primer on the basic elements of Islamic architecture in general at the end of this eBook (If you have had no prior exposure to Islamic architecture, you might consider reading this first). For ease of reference and comprehensibility, the guide adheres to a bullet-point format.

We hope you enjoy what we believe is a totally unique cultural guide to some of the best Islamic sites in Cairo and wish you a wonder-filled cultural experience!
