The
Citadel
of
Salah
al-Din
al-Ayyubi
in
Cairo
is
considered
one
of
the
most
luxurious
military
castles
constructed
in
the
Middle
Ages.
Its
location
is
strategic
in
the
first
degree,
with
what
this
site
provides
of
defensive
importance
because
it
controls
the
cities
of
Cairo
and
Fustat,
and
it
also
constitutes
a
high
natural
barrier
between
the
two
cities.
The
castle
and
the
city
are
in
a
state
of
siege,
and
they
will
become
the
last
bastion
of
sit-in
in
the
event
that
the
city
falls
into
the
hands
of
the
enemy.
Muhammad
Ali
took
over
Egypt
where
he
restored
her
prosperity
and
greatness.
Salah
al-Din
Yusef
bin
Ayoub
was
the
first
to
consider
building
the
castle
on
the
hilltop
of
the
Sowwah
in
the
year
572
AH
/
1176AD,
when
his
minister
Baha
Qaraqosh
al-Asadi
demolished
the
mosques
and
tombs
that
were
present
on
the
Sowwah
in
order
to
build
the
castle
on
it
where
the
workers
carved
the
rock
and
found
an
artificial
trench
separating
the
mountain
of
Mokattam
On
the
voice,
an
increase
in
its
strength
and
strength.
Salah
al-Din
al-Ayyubi
began
construction
of
a
fort
on
Mount
al-Mokattam,
in
a
place
known
as
the
Air
Dome.
But
he
did
not
complete
it
in
his
life.
Rather,
it
was
completed
by
Sultan
Al-Kamel
bin
Al-Adil.
He
was
the
first
to
live
in
it,
the
king,
and
made
it
a
house
for
the
king.
And
it
continued
so
until
the
reign
of
Muhammad
Ali
Pasha.
And
in
the
western
side
of
the
castle,
there
is
the
door
inserted
and
above
it
in
writing
indicating
the
construction
of
this
castle,
and
its
text,
“In
the
name
of
God,
the
Most
Gracious,
the
Merciful.”
He
ordered
the
establishment
of
this
impressive
castle,
adjacent
to
the
Cairo
Guard,
which
collected
benefit,
improvement,
and
capacity
for
Ali
who
sought
refuge
in
the
shadow
of
his
property
and
fortification,

the

the

hundred

Salah
al-Din
dug
a
well
in
the
citadel
from
which
the
army
and
the
citadel
residents
would
draw
water
if
the
water
was
prevented
from
it
during
the
siege.
It
is
impressed
by
the
work
that
has
been
done
because
the
well
is
dug
in
the
rock,
90
meters
deep
from
the
level
of
the
castle's
land.
This
requires
a
great
effort
at

بالقاهرة
من
أفخم
القلاع
الحربية
التي
شيدت
في
العصور

استراتيجي
من

يوفره
هذا
الموقع
من
أهمية
دفاعية

يسيطر
على
مدينتي
القاهرة

أنه
يشكل
حاجزاً
طبيعياً

أنه
بهذا
الموقع
يمكن
توفير
الاتصال

والمدينة
في

بهدم

كانت
موجودة
على
