El Moez Street - An Old Street in the Islamic Old Cairo
El Moez Street, Cairo, Egypt - Walking through one of the long old streets that belong to the Fatimid Islamic era and which is a well for a lot of old Islamic mosques as well as different Islamic buildings.
El Moez street history is long because even though it mostly belongs to the Fatimid era, it still carries several buildings that are related to other different Islamic eras and periods as well. Some of the historical buildings found in El Moez street are related to Amr Ibn El As, Tulunid period, Fatimid, Ayyubid, Mamluk, Ottomon, and Mohamed Ali eras.
El Moez street شارع المعز is the name given to this place in attribution to El Moez Ldin Allah Al Fatimi, the fourth caliph of the Fatimid dynasty. This street is considered one of the oldest in the Islamic world and it is about one kilometer long, starting from Bab Al Futuh in the North and ending at Bab Zweila in the South, carrying different buildings, markets, and mosques ( to be viewed.
Due to the treasures found inside this street, there were some renovations done to the buildings by the government in an attempt to turn the place into an open-air museum. Because of this initiative, the government also made this a pedestrian walk only zone from 9 AM until 11 PM without allowing any vehicles to come inside during these hours of the day, giving the tourists the chance to view the whole place without any worries.
There are a lot of attractions in this place and some might be more famously known than others, these attractions vary between historical buildings, historical Islamic mosques, and museums. From the most famous attractions in the street, there is Bait Al Suhaymi ( Al Aqmar mosque, Al Hakim Mosque, Bayn Al Qasrain area which features Sultan Barquq mosque - madrassa on the left and sabil of Muhammad Ali Pasha on the right, Al Hakim bi Amr Allah mosque, Sayyidna Al Hussein mosque, Al Azhar mosque, mausoleum of Sultan Al-Ghuri, Wikala of Al-Ghuri, and House of Zeinab Khatoun.
Tourists will come across several other things which they might fall in love with more than those which are famously known and much visited. El Moez street is considered the same area of Old Cairo that combines Al-Azhar, Khan El Khalili ( and El Moez street together, so tourists and visitors could always get the chance to visit these areas during the same day but will spend almost the whole day there.
This is an old area in Cairo that does not require any entrance fees to the street itself and even to some of the buildings and historical attractions there, but there are some museums and mosques that ask for a ticket. The plus thing is that the ticket there allows you to enter different places and buildings instead of paying a new amount of money every single time you get to enter a new place.
The renovations done there gave the place a different look since the buildings which were higher than the historical ones were brought down to a good height, the streets were repaved in the old style, drainage system has been installed to protect the buildings from any excess water, and even lighting systems have been installed to light up the buildings in the night time.
In addition to walking through El Moez street, entering some of the famous museums and mosques, you could also walk through the market of Khan El Khalili, get the chance to sit in an old Egyptian style cafe and have mint tea, and at the same time buy your souvenirs there since there is a good chance of bargaining.
Make sure that while you are visiting this place, you are dressed appropriately by covering as much as you can from your skin, especially the shoulders and the legs, just in case you are planning to enter any of the mosques found there - which is recommended - and women should better have something to cover their head as well.
Some of the shops in the street tend to follow the whole atmosphere by selling antiques, such as old typewriters, old telephones, old musical instruments, and other items which the old Egyptian people were using.
Due to the Islamic atmosphere that takes over this street, you will find Islamic decoration items that could decorate your home, but might be difficult to travel back with them to your homeland.
El moez street and area are so close to Al Azhar park ( so if you want to have lunch or dinner with a view of old Egypt then you could finish walking through Al Moez and head over to this park. If you have more time and want to do another historical tour then Salah Al-Din Citadel ( is only 10 minutes drive away from El Moez street and only 5 minutes drive away from Al Azhar park, but we do not recommend that because you will be energy drained at the end of the day.
Travel back to the Islamic era and visit El Moez street with its historical sites.

مسجد الإمام الحسين بالقاهرة - Al-Hussain Mosque
Cairo
The Al-Hussain Mosque is a mosque built in 1154. The mosque is located in Cairo, Egypt, near the Khan El-Khalili bazaar. It is considered to be one of the holiest Islamic sites in Egypt. The mosque was built on the cemetery of the Fatimid caliphs, though this was not known until the site's archaeological excavation.
مسجد الإمام الحسين، هو مسجد قديم في القاهرة ، مصر بالقرب من منطقة خان الخليلي في حل الجمالية. يعتبر مسجد الحسين من أهم الأماكن الإسلامية المقدسة في القاهرة، وقد بني في عهد الخلافة الفاطمية عام 1154. ويحتوي المسجد على الكثير من المقتنيات الهامة مثل أقدم نسخة من القرآن الكريم
الحسين هو الحسين بن على بن أبى طالب حفيد النبي محمد ولد في السنة الرابعة من الهجرة في المدينة و نشأ في بيت النبوة وبعد أن أوهمه اهل الكوفة أنهم بايعوه للخلافة بدلا من يزيد بن معاوية سار الى الكوفة وعند كربلاء هاجمة جنود عبد الله بن زياد و قتلوه هو وأهله و قطعوا رأسه يوم عاشوراء عام 61 هـ واختلفت الآراء حول مكانها و قيل أن رأس الحسين تم دفنها في ضريح الحسين بالقاهرة بعد إحضارها من عسقلان سنة 1154 ميلادية.
وهناك ست مدن ذكر أن رأس الحسين مقبور بها وهي: دمشق - الرقة – عسقلان - القاهرة - كربلاء – المدينة.
وقد أنشىء المشهد الحسينى عام 549 هـ لينتقل إليه رأس الحسين بن على بن أبى طالب ولم يبق منه الآن غير الباب المعروف بالباب. وقد بنيت المئذنة المقامة فوق الباب عام 634 هـ في أواخر العصر الأيوبى ولم يبق منها أيضا سوى قاعدتها المربعة .
وقد جدد الأمير عبد الرحمن كتخدا ما يعلو المئذنة، كما جدد المشهد والقبة المقامة على الضريح عام 1175 هـ وحليت هذه القبة من الداخل بالنقوش الملونة التى يتخللها التذهيب.
ولما تولى الخديو إسماعيل حكم مصر أمر بتجديد المسجد وتوسيعه والذي استمر العمل به عشر سنوات حتي انتهي عام 1290 فيما عدا المئذنة التى كمل بناؤها عام 1295هـ .
ومن أهم ما عثر عليه في المشهد الحسينى تابوت خشبى جميل وجد في حجرة أسفل المقصورة النحاسية وسط القبة يتوصل إليها من فتحتين صغيرتين بالأرضية.
وفي سنة 1939م أمر الملك فاروق الأول بإصلاح أرضية القبة وفرشها بالرخام فانتهزت إدارة حفظ الآثار العربية هذه الفرصة للتحقق من وجود هذا التابوت ولما وجدته وعاينته، رفعته من مكانه وأصلحته ثم نقلته إلى دار الآثار العربية ليعرض بها.
ولهذا التابوت ثلاثة جوانب وهو مصنوع من خشب التك المستورد من جزر الهند الشرقية وقد قسمت وجهته وجانباه إلى مستطيلات يحيط بها ويفصلها بعضها عن بعض إطارات محفورة بالخطين الكوفى والنسخ المزخرفين وتجمعت هذه المستطيلات على هيئة أشكال هندسية بداخلها حشوات مزدانة بزخارف نباتية دقيقة تنوعت أشكالها وأوضاعها
