The detailed maps and descriptions were fantastic for two days of wandering through Islamic Cairo--I was never lost and there was information on virtually everything I was seeing. Highly; highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Great for an indepth look at Islamic monumentsBy CarrieExcellent book for anyone who wants more depth into the Islamic monuments around Cairo. The historical summary and chronology at the beginning is very useful and sets the stage for the rest of the book. Each chapter describes monuments big and small in each area of Cairo. Very easy to read and provides great information.
