Overview

Al-Muizz li-Din Allah al-Fatimi Street or al-Muizz Street for short, is a major north-to-south street in the walled city of historic Cairo, Egypt. It is one of Cairo's oldest streets as it dates back to the foundation of the city (not counting the earlier Fustat) by the Fatimid dynasty in the 10th century, under their fourth caliph, Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah (after whom the street is named).
The Mosque of al-Hakim is a historic mosque in Cairo, Egypt. It is named after Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah (985–1021), the sixth Fatimid caliph and 16th Ismaili Imam. Construction of the mosque was originally started by Caliph al-'Aziz, the son of al-Mu'izz and the father of al Hakim, in 990 AD. It was completed in 1013 by al-Hakim, which is why it is named after him.

Me and my family went on a walking tour with Zizou our first day in Cairo. He walked us through the Old Cairo on a very busy day and told us all about the buildings, the culture and history. Later on he organised another day in Cairo for us looking at the Citadel, Coptic Cairo and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilazation, which ended with him joining us on a dinner cruise on the Nile. He is a very experienced guide which made us feel safe and welcome in his city, had everything under control at all times and made sure our experience was as best as possible.

Experience the culture of living of modern Egyptians, listen to the Zizou guide to tell us about the detailed historical background, then visit the Elkhalili market to see a variety of colorful and luxurious goods sold along the streets. Finally at night to experience the local smoke as a conclusion, very pleased.
