Al-Muizz Street
Terhal
A long historic street in Islamic Cairo with the highest concentration of consecutive historic Islamic buildings anywhere in the world (mosques, wikalas, and sabils from Fatimid, Mamluk, and Ottoman eras); closed to cars in the evening, turning into a pedestrian walkway, especially during Ramadan.
