Old Cairo is a relatively small area but it is rich with history. Also known as Coptic Cairo, and Masr al-Qadima to the locals, it has been inhabited since the 6th century BC. It has been a Roman fort protecting trade routes, a Christian city from around the 5th century AD, a Muslim army camp from 641 AD, then Egypt's capital city until yet another conquest in the 10th century.


The main interest these days is in its role as Coptic Cairo.

Just northeast is the site of ancient Fustat which contains the oldest mosque, Amr Ibn al-Aas
