Our last day in Cairo is in the books, and what a day it was!
Today we put our bargaining skills to the test at the local market! We learned the art of bartering and then had to put our newfound skills to work shopping for a white elephant gift for later in the trip. 🤣🎁
We also visited the Citadel of Cairo, a medieval Islamic fortress that served as the seat of Egypt’s rulers for nearly 700 years. Sitting high above the city, it gave us incredible views of Cairo while offering a fascinating glimpse into the city’s political and military history. The stunning Muhammad Ali Mosque, with its massive domes and towering minarets, is one of the Citadel’s most recognizable landmarks.
Amidst this day, we got a glimpse into Garbage City. One of the many things Disney does so well is to highlight the contrasts within every culture to give an even deeper appreciation for the many layers of life and history that make a destination so fascinating.
From bustling markets to medieval fortresses to ancient temples, this adventure just keeps getting better. 🇪🇬❤️🐪✨
