The Saladin Citadel of Cairo (Arabic: قلعة صلاح الدين) is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Cairo, Egypt.

The location, part of the Muqattam hill near the center of Cairo, was once famous for its fresh breeze and grand views of the city, and was fortified by the Ayyubid ruler Salah al-Din (Saladin) between 1176 and 1183.

Assalamualaikum bro,

Great shot of this structure . .
Just miss the front tower that is cropped, and it would be nicer to see the whole . . it's my personal preference . .
Interesting object to be presented . .
Nice angle capturing with light from the front, and the left side is still able to be seen . .

Tfs,
Tjutjut
