Overview
The well-architectured gate Bab Zuwila is also known by Bawabbat al-Mitwali. Is one of the iconic monuments in Cairo and the last remaining southern gate from the walls of Fatimid Cairo in the 11th and 12th centuries. Built by the Fatimid vizier and commander‑in‑chief, Badr al‑Jamali, in 480 AH/1092 AD. There are interesting exhibits about the gate's history, all with thorough explanations in English, inside the gate, while up on the roof there are panoramic vistas that stretch out to the citadel.
