Soothe your history-heavy nerves with some cool breeze at the Citadel of Salah El-Din, one of the world’s greatest monuments of medieval warfare. Relax and shop at the Khan El Kahili Bazar and El Sagha that exhibit wonderful collections of jewelry, wooden products, leatherware, embroidered dresses, and more.
