The Citadel of Saladin in Cairo is a historic fortress offering stunning panoramic views of the city and housing several museums and mosques, including the Mosque of Muhammad Ali with its Ottoman architecture. Accessibility can be challenging due to uneven surfaces and stairs. Solo exploration is possible, but a guided tour can provide valuable historical context. The site is open year-round, but visiting during cooler months (October-April) is more comfortable. Expect to spend approximately 3-4 hours exploring the Citadel. Entrance fees are typically around 180-200 EGP for foreigners. Consider hiring a local guide to navigate the vast complex and learn about its rich history.
