6. Islamic Cairo

The influence of Islam on Cairo is all-pervasive. World-famous mosques such as Al Azhar, Ibn Tulun and the Mosque of Hussein are here, and the religion's cultural and artistic beauty has enriched the city for centuries. The delight is that its ancient, narrow streets mean that Islamic Cairo has to be explored on foot, an experience that engages all the senses and takes you back in time. There is free entry into the open area of most area mosques.   (© 10Best)
