Bab Zuweila, Cairo Overview
Located in Islamic Cairo, Bab Zuweila is the only surviving southern gate of the city. The spectacularly standing minarets on the gate beautifully depict the architecture of that era. The gate was also popular for being used by the rulers of that time to execute criminals and prisoners. Tourists often enjoy mesmerizing views from the top of this beautiful landmark.
Bab Zuweila was built in medieval times and served as an entry to the city of Al-Qahira. It is an entrance to famous mosque in the area. It is also known to have plenty of shops nearby, where one can buy clothes and souvenirs. There are two minarets, both on each side of the gate, which offer beautiful vistas. The minarets have about 150 steps to reach the top. However, the last patch of the stairs towards the top is a bit worn out and difficult to climb.
