El Moez Street in Cairo is an absolute must-visit for anyone travelling to Egypt—it truly feels like stepping into a living museum. As one of the oldest streets in Cairo, dating back to the Fatimid era in the 10th century, it offers a breathtaking walk through history, lined with magnificent examples of Islamic architecture, including mosques, madrasas, sabils, and ancient houses. Every corner holds a piece of Cairo's rich heritage, from the majestic Qalawun Complex to the serene Al-Hakim Mosque and the beautifully preserved Bayt Al-Suhaymi. The atmosphere is both vibrant and peaceful, with friendly locals, traditional cafés, and a wide array of souvenir shops selling everything from handmade lanterns, jewellery, and perfumes to natural oils, papyrus artwork, and leather crafts—perfect for those looking to take home a piece of authentic Egypt. The street is clean, mostly pedestrian-only, and feels incredibly safe, with visible police presence throughout the area, especially in the evenings, which adds to the comfort of walking around freely with family or as a solo traveller. Nearby Khan El Khalili bazaar adds even more charm with its bustling energy, and the food scene around El Moez is a treat—don’t miss tasting the koshari, taameya sandwiches, and sipping on fresh juices or traditional mint tea in one of the heritage cafés. Evenings on El Moez are magical, with stunning lights illuminating the ancient buildings and free traditional shows and music often taking place, making it a perfect mix of culture, history, and entertainment. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a photography lover, or just someone looking to experience the true spirit of Cairo, El Moez Street has it all. I felt completely immersed in its beauty and highly recommend it to any tourist visiting Egypt. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories, amazing photos, unique treasures, and a deep appreciation for Egypt’s timeless soul. Thank you to everyone who works so hard to preserve this incredible place—it’s truly one of the most special places I’ve ever visited!
