Hey folks, driving in Cairo is interesting to watch. It is never boring on the streets of Cairo. For more information subtitles in different languages are available. If you have suggestions or feedback just leave a comment, thank you.
Welcome to my new tour within Cairo from Old Cairo to Nasr City. We also drive on the Magra el Eyoun street, which runs along the well-known aqueduct.
You have to watch out for walking people, taxis, toktok's and especially for (white) microbuses. Their behavior is unpredictable and it can lead to a disaster. Otherwise is driving in Cairo, Egypt a funny and enjoyable thing. Always wear your seat belt and keep to the speed limit.

Magra el Eyoun
The medieval Mamluk aqueduct of Sultan al-Nassir Muhammad ibn Qalawoon known as Magra El-Eyoun.
El Nassir Muhammad was a Bahari Mamluke who ruled Egypt three times, between 1293 and 1294, 1298 and 1309, and finally between 1309 and 1340.
He was the only son of Sultan Seif el Din Qalawun el Ṣaliḥi (1222-1290) by a Mongol princess named Aslun Khatun. El Nassir is best known as a prolific builder in Cairo.
Amongst the many constructions of his era is this strategic and vital aqueduct which connected the Nile to the west with the Citadel of Saladin providing it with water necessary for the court.
The origin of the aqueduct has been a matter of dispute among some scholars, but Maqrizi says that it was el Nassir who built it between 1340 and 1341,
yet there were always signs of an earlier aqueduct underneath it which could have been attributable to Saladin in the 12th century.
However, in 1919, the Egyptian archaeologist Ali Bahgat excavated part of the aqueduct and discovered that what lay beneath was not an aqueduct at all, but part of an old city wall.
This aqueduct of al-Nasir was used right up until 1872.
Built highest at the lowlands of Fom El-Khaleeg (where the Cairo canal met the Nile) and lowest at the Citadel on top of the eastern Cairo hills,
this Mamluk aqueduct facilitated the transport of water from the Nile to the Citadel and revitalized the Citadel and reinforced its position as the seat of the Sultanate in Cairo.
From then on, architecture and governance flourished within the Citadel walls, starting with the Qalawoon mosque commissioned by El Nassir in his father's name.
In theory, Magra el Eyoun separated the Southern Cemetery (to its south) from the Citadel and other city quarters and neighborhoods to its north.
However, the cemetery developed around the Sayeda Nafisa Shrine proliferated the necropolis north of Magra el Eyoun whereas residential areas developed south of it centuries later.
Islamic Cairo
Islamic Cairo (قاهرة المعز), also called Historic Cairo or Medieval Cairo, refers generically to the historic areas of Cairo,
that existed before the city's modern expansion during the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly the central parts around the old walled city and around the Citadel of Cairo.
The name "Islamic" Cairo refers not to a greater prominence of Muslims in the area but rather to the city's rich history and heritage since its foundation in the early period of Islam,
while distinguishing it from with the nearby Ancient Egyptian sites of Giza and Memphis.
This area holds one of the largest and densest concentrations of historic architecture in the Islamic world.
It is characterized by hundreds of mosques, tombs, madrasas, mansions, caravanserais, and fortifications dating from throughout the Islamic era of Egypt.
In 1979, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed Historic Cairo a World Cultural Heritage site,
as "one of the world's oldest Islamic cities, with its famous mosques, madrasas, hammams and fountains"
and "the new centre of the Islamic world, reaching its golden age in the 14th century.
Islamic Cairo is located in the heart of Cairo and spreads over several districts. The area encloses "El Waili, el Daher, el Gamaleya", and each partially over ""El Darb el Ahmar and Bab el Shaareya."
The metro line M3 offers a central station in the area with "Abdou Pasha". The nearest stations with "El Demerdash" and "Ghamra" on the M1 line are outside the area.

Damn that’s too bad they destroyed the pottery section in Fustat. I noticed starting at 537. Very unique place I saw it in 2020. I am very sad and upset. I feel like everything that makes Cairo special and unique is quickly being destroyed.
Very upset. Now I’m depressed.
I watched your video from 5 months ago and it was still there. It’s troubling how fast history can be destroyed. This really took the wind out of my sails
Cairo is degenerating into a concrete city. Many unique courses have been and will be modified. I also agree that some of these modernizations are unnecessary. Not all new bridges or new roads were and are necessary. The widening of many roads in Cairo led to many accidents involving personal injury. Many things are not thought through to the end. Many residents also had to be relocated to make room for new roads. New bridges are built too close to buildings and lowers the quality of life of the residents. I am not a supporter of these modernizations, which, by the way, are being made across the country. I only show a very small part of the conversion measures that have already been carried out.

I watch all your videos I'm from Spain and I'm a Christian, I like Egypt, it's the land of God and the prophets, I respect your religion, I imagine you're a Muslim, I don't care about other religions, even if they're false, what matters to me is love people, as God loves us, that's why I tell you that God bless you and your family.
Thanks a lot Amigo. I am a Christian too, a coptic orthodox. 10% in Egypt are Christian. Religion for me is a personal and intimate thing. The character is describing the person and not in which place this person go to pray. I hope that one day people will understand it that way. No one is better or worse just because of a different belief. May God bless you and your family too.
@@GuidanceX I like the way you speak, by the way, I will pray for you when I go to the temple next time, you do the same for me, between brothers we pray for each other and without differentiating religions because ultimately we are all made by God and we all we are brothers. until the next video ;)
I have the same thinking bro. I will do.
