One of Cairo’s biggest malls, the Mall of Arabia is a huge shopping and entertainment complex on the western fringes of Egypt’s capital. Home to around 900 stores, multiple restaurants and coffee shops, a multiscreen cinema, and kids’ entertainment, the mall is a magnet for fashionistas, foodies, and families wanting to shop and relax in comfort.
Close to the Bab Zuweila gate to Cairo’s old city, the 15th-century Mosque of Sultan Al-Mu'ayyad stands atop the remains of a prison that once housed the mosque’s creator, Sultan Al-Mu’ayyad. While the structure has been extensively reworked over the years, its brilliantly colored marble and ornate decorations still stand out, as do the elegant twin minarets.
