Where it is
30.0554, 31.2634
Why go
The gate’s rounded towers and decorated arch belong to the city’s medieval defensive system. Together with Bab al-Nasr and Bab Zuwayla, it preserves important evidence of Cairo’s early fortifications. This record identifies the gate itself, not the whole street or city wall.
