The article

An area close to Muqattam Hills (north of today's Citadel) was chosen as cemetery for Al-Fustat and it soon covered an area that was over six kilometres long. When the Fatmids came to Egypt in year 969 they established the fortified royal enclosure Al-Qahira (the Subduer or the Victorious) that was the start of what is Cairo today.

Later important Sufi orders choose the area outside Al-Qahira for their spiritual seeking and when important Sufi Sheikhs was buried close to the settlement these tombs became places for pilgrimages.

EGYPT  EXPEDITIONS  &  TOURS  


An elderly American professor in Egyptology (ancient Egyptian history and culture) was asked during his last season in Egypt before retirement, if he felt he had seen all of Egypt now? He answered - "are you crazy, I have only been here for twenty years"! With that statement in mind, you would do best if you look at some tour options before you finalize your Egypt tour plans.
