Ciudadela de Saladino
11th century fortress built by Saladin and modified in subsequent centuries. In the 19th century, Sultan Mohamed Ali erected the Alabaster Mosque inside the Citadel, with the ceilings decorated with gold leaf and with inscriptions that refer to Allah and Muhammad (two that seem larger) and 4 more that indicate the names of the first 4 Caliphs who succeeded Muhammad (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali). The Citadel has many buildings inside and has another Mosque, palatial, military, administrative buildings, ...). It is located on a plateau overlooking Cairo and on clear days you could see the pyramids of Giza.
