Overview
Our Al-Darb al-Ahmar tourist route will take you on a journey down the lane of history, where we will show you 16 of the most fascinating monuments of Islamic Egypt from the Fatimid, Ayyubid, and Mamluk eras to the Ottoman eras that followed, leaving glories of Islamic architecture and a constantly growing metropolis in their wake.
The district, a labyrinth of narrow and winding alleys dotted with medieval mosques, mausoleums, palaces, schools, complexes, and even 700-year-old ancient craft markets whose owners are as talented and skilled as ever.
My tours connect visitors with a past and a way of life that remains in very few places in the world today. A variety of traditional crafts are made there, from brass lanterns, to shops, glassware, and furniture inlaid with mother-of-pearl, using designs that are unique to the Egyptian culture, local Egyptian food from the city of Cairo and the district itself.
