The Citadel


We decided to be tourists every weekend; so our plan is to go sightseeing every Friday or Saturday. This last time, we went with Sarah and John to the Citadel.
It took us a while to find a parking space, but the good thing is that we got to visit this place.
The entrance fee is 40 LE – and we paid a guy to guide us around and tell us the story behind the Citadel. It was all very interesting … I will not go into details now, as I am not in the mood, but we took some great shots there.
There are a few mosques inside the whole site, plus a little museum (with portraits of kings of Egypt). The Citadel is fairly big on the inside, with a huge carpet brought from France, with alabaster walls etc.

From the top you can see almost the entire city plus the pyramids of Giza and Sakkara.
I've been looking for an Egyptian flag, so i can take my pic wt it, so i finally found it, right by the Citadel - i couldn't help not putting this pic on!!
