Al-Mu'izz Lidin Allah Al-Fatimi Street, Al-A'zam Street, Cairo Kasbah, or Greater Cairo Kasbah
A street representing the heart of Old Cairo, which was developed to be an open museum of Islamic architecture and antiquities
With the emergence of the city of Cairo during the era of the Fatimid state in Egypt, Al-Mu'izz Street arose. The layout of the city was crossed by a main street extending from Bab Zuweila in the south to Bab al-Futuh in the north, parallel to the Gulf. It was called the Great Street, and at a later stage it was called Kasbah of Cairo.
It divided the city into two almost equal parts and was the political and spiritual center of the city
The Great Street is filled with a series of religious, educational, medical, commercial and residential facilities, so that the bulk of Egypt’s Islamic monuments became concentrated within the borders of Mamluk Cairo. Economic activities in this era gathered around the Great Street and along its extension outside Bab Zuweila towards Saliba and the Citadel, and the Kasbah of Cairo extended outside its Fatimid walls. From the beginning of Al-Husseiniyah in the north, outside Bab Al-Futouh, to the Nafisi scene in the south, outside Bab Zuweila.
In the past, the street was given several names: The Great Street, the Kasbah of Cairo, and the Kasbah of Greater Cairo. Finally, it was given the name Al-Muizz Li Din Allah in 1937 in honor of the founder of Cairo.
This name extends from Bab al-Futuh to Bab Zuwaila, including the streets of Bab al-Futuh, Amir al-Jyoush, al-Nahhasin, Bain al-Qasserine, al-Sagha, Achrafieh, al-Shawayyin, al-Aqqadin, al-Mankhaliyya, al-Munjidin, and al-Sukkariyya to Bab Zuwaila.
The current name goes back to the Fatimid Caliph Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah, who is Abu Tamim Ma'ad bin Al-Mansur Ismail bin Al-Qaim Bi-Amr Allah Muhammad bin Al-Mahdi Abdullah Al-Fatimi, whose origins go back to the island of Sicily, while he was born in the city of Mahdia in the year 319 AH, and Cairo Al-Mu'aziyah is attributed to him. He was pledged to the caliphate in Morocco and was the first Fatimid caliph to enter Egypt after its conquest in the year 358 AH
For people who ask about the address of Al-Moez Street and how to get there
Look, sir/madam, you will take the metro and go down to Ataba or Ramses, and from there you will take a car for Al-Hussein and tell the driver, “Al-Ghuriya has come down to me. Al-Ghuriya has come down. Thank God you are safe.” Go to the other side and you will find Al-Mu’izz Street in front of you.
Or you can take the metro and change from Attaba to the direction of Abbasiya, and get off at Bab al-Sharia station and ask about Al-Nahhasin Street or Amir Al-Jioush and walk there until the end until you find Al-Muizz Street.
It is possible that if you are coming from Salah Salem, go under the Al-Fangari Bridge and take the Al-Banhawi car and go down to Bab Al-Futouh and go there and you will find Al-Hakim Mosque. This is Al-Moez Street.
Whenever I felt uncomfortable, I went to Al-Muizz Lidin Allah Al-Fatimi Street. Some streets are like poems, and this street in particular resembles an Arabic poem in more than one way. It is as if it is the whiteness between the two parts of the house. To your right is a row of houses, schools, and mosques, and to your left is a row of the same, as if they were chests and ridges, and you are walking in the whiteness extending between them.
The street is approximately 4,800 meters long, and this is considered one of the most important reasons that made history writers always call it the greatest street, in addition to being the street through which most of the important processions of this era pass, such as: the procession of transporting the Kaaba’s covering and others.
