On the east bank of Cairo, from the north to the
south, are the neighborhoods of Islamic Cairo. Here you will find hundreds
of Mosques, many dating back to medieval times, also crowded bazaars and
long narrow streets. To the south of the Islamic district you will find
Old Cairo, where some of the city's oldest monuments can be found. Old
Cairo is the home of Cairo's Coptic Christian community, and the site of
the Coptic Museum plus a number of Coptic
churches. |
