Egypt has an overall mild climate, with the best time to visit being between October and May.

The Citadel was built by a ruler named Salah al-Din to keep the city safe from attacks by a group called the Crusaders. It was also meant to be a safe place for the ruler to run the government. This happened a long time ago, not too long after Salah al-Din had taken down another group called the Fatimid Caliphate.
 

Al Moez Street is a very important street in Cairo that tells the story of the city from a long time ago until now. It shows how Islamic civilization has changed over time, starting with the Fatimid era, then the Ayyubid era, and then the Mamelukes, Circassians, and Ottomans. The street goes on for a long way and has lots of interesting things to see.

The Saladin Citadel in Cairo is a huge and impressive building that shows us how people used to build things a long time ago. It is very tall and can be seen from far away. When I visited, I was amazed by how beautiful it was and how important it is in history.
