The sound and light show at night is also wonderful there. Al-Azhar Mosque and Citadel of Saladin are superb Islamic architectures, to learn the old constructing skills and arts in medieval ages. Cairo Tower on Zamalek Island provides a fine view of Cairo, on which ones can overlook the Nile, Giza Pyramids, castles, and more in the city.
