Islamic Cairo is a historic district in central Cairo featuring numerous mosques, tombs, mansions, and fortifications dating back to the Islamic era. In 1979, it was declared a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO due to its rich cultural and architectural significance. It is considered one of the world's oldest Islamic cities, with a golden age in the 14th century, and is centred around the Citadel of Cairo.

Muizz Street, also known as Al Moez Ldin Allah Al Fatimi Street, is a historic one-kilometer-long street in Islamic Cairo, Egypt. It is named after Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah, the fourth caliph of the Fatimid dynasty, and features a concentration of medieval architectural treasures recognised by UNESCO as the greatest in the Islamic world. The national government has carried out extensive renovations since 1997 to turn the street into an "open-air museum." Al-Muizz Street was rededicated as a pedestrian-only zone in 2008 and stretches from Bab Al-Futuh in the north to Bab Zuweila in the south, including several well-preserved medieval mansions and palaces, the Qalawun complex, and the magnificent Tent Market in the Gamaliya district.

Bab al Futuh, located in the Old City of Cairo, is one of the three remaining gates that were built as part of the fortification by Commander/Vizier Badr al-Jamali in the year 1087. The gate, facing north and located at the northern end of Muizz Street, features rounded towers with shafts for pouring boiling water or burning oil on attackers, and arrow slits. Its design made it a stronger defence compared to the square towers of Bab al-Nasr. Bab al Futuh is adorned with vegetal and geometric motifs.

Bab Zuweila is a gate located in the Old City of Cairo, Egypt, and is one of the three surviving gates in the city's walls. It was formerly known as Bawabbat al-Mitwali and is considered a significant landmark. It is the sole remaining southern gate from the walls of Fatimid Cairo, built in the 11th and 12th centuries. The name Bab Zuweila means "Door of Zuwayla," as the gate was guarded by members of the Berber tribe Zuwayla.
