SPARE maps of the old Islamic city are head and shoulders above any other maps available on the market.

Available at Lehnert and Landrock and decent bookshops like Diwan.

If you want to do something different in Cairo, get a SPARE map (there are at least 4), take a taxi to Khan el Khalili and go for a walk. All of the relevant buildings are marked in the maps, together with a bit of history. Take yourself back to the 1400s.

Cairo was one of the most important cities in the world in the late middle ages and the architecture in Islamic Cairo proves it.

When you're finished, treat yourself to a bowl of kushari.
