El Nozha - Tahrir Square - Corniche el Nil - Magra el Eyoun - Driving in Cairo, Egypt

If you enjoy the video, please like, comment and subscribe, I appreciate it, thank you Hey folks, driving in Cairo is interesting to watch. It is never boring on the streets of Cairo. For more information subtitles in different languages are available. If you have suggestions or feedback just leave a comment, thank you. I also permanently displayed the permitted maximum speed. I've heard a lot of complaints about Speeding Tickets. In this way I hope to protect you from possible Speeding tickets. In future videos I will continue this on main roads. You have to watch out for walking people, taxis, toktok's and especially for (white) microbuses. Their behavior is unpredictable and it can lead to a disaster. Otherwise is driving in Cairo, Egypt a funny and enjoyable thing. Always wear your seat belt and keep to the speed limit.

During this time, this square was built under his leadership. Known as "Ismailia Square" until 1919, it was unofficially named "Tahrir Square" (Liberation Square) for the first time after the protest against the British occupation. Only after the military coup of July 23, 1952 and the establishment of a republic on June 18, 1953, the square was officially renamed "Tahrir Square" from 1954. The square is served by Metro Line M1 and M2. The name of the station is called "Sadat." Magra el Eyoun The medieval Mamluk aqueduct of Sultan el Nassir Muhammad ibn Qalawoon is known as Magra El-Eyoun. El Nassir Muhammad was a Bahari Mamluke who ruled Egypt three times, between 1293 and 1294, 1298 and 1309, and finally between 1309 and 1340. He was the only son of Sultan Seif el Din Qalawun el Ṣaliḥi (1222-1290) by a Mongol princess named Aslun Khatun. El Nassir is best known as a prolific builder in Cairo. Amongst the many constructions of his era is this strategic and vital aqueduct which connected the Nile to the west with the Citadel of Saladin providing it with water necessary for the court. The origin of the aqueduct has been a matter of dispute among some scholars, but Maqrizi says that it was el Nassir who built it between 1340 and 1341, yet there were always signs of an earlier aqueduct underneath it which could have been attributable to Saladin in the 12th century. However, in 1919, the Egyptian archaeologist Ali Bahgat excavated part of the aqueduct and discovered that what lay beneath was not an aqueduct at all, but part of an old city wall. This aqueduct of al-Nasir was used right up until 1872. Built highest at the lowlands of Fom El-Khaleeg (where the Cairo canal met the Nile) and lowest at the Citadel on top of the eastern Cairo hills, this Mamluk aqueduct facilitated the transport of water from the Nile to the Citadel and revitalized the Citadel and reinforced its position as the seat of the Sultanate in Cairo. From then on, architecture and governance flourished within the Citadel walls, starting with the Qalawoon mosque commissioned by El Nassir in his father's name. In theory, Magra el Eyoun separated the Southern Cemetery (to its south) from the Citadel and other city quarters and neighborhoods to its north. However, the cemetery developed around the Sayeda Nafisa Shrine proliferated the necropolis north of Magra el Eyoun whereas residential areas developed south of it centuries later.
