The Age Of Sultans

“The bazaars, however picturesque, are far from being the only sights of Cairo. There are mosques in plenty; grand old Saracenic gates; ancient Coptic churches; the museum of Egyptian antiquities; and, within driving distance, the tombs of the Caliphs, Heliopolis, the Pyramids, and the Sphinx. To remember in what order the present travellers saw these things would now be impossible; for they lived in a dream, and were at first too bewildered to catalogue their impressions very methodically.” Walk through the old city that Amelia explored and visit the waking dreams she described as you see the Egyptian, Andalusian, Turkish, and Persian influences on every corner. A crumbling city at the time she visited, today it is a preserved gem for you to appreciate.
