The Citadel

The Citadel is a medieval fort in Egypt built to protect the Egyptians from various invaders. In the 1800s, a mosque was built by Muhammad Ali, not the boxer. Muhammad Ali was the King of Egypt. The mosque was a private place for the family to worship.

You must either take off your shoes or put plastic bags on your shoes before you enter. For women wearing revealing clothes, they will provide a very large green sack to wear.
