The area is filthy and packed with people, cars and motor bikes. I felt uneasy and unsafe. I can only feel awful for the beautiful monuments and cultural artifacts that are surrounded by slums.

Preciosa puerta que da acceso al barrio islámico. No perderse la calle por la que se llega. El Cairo auténtico, genial, imperdible

Out of the three Fatimid gates that remained standing nowadays, Bab Zuwayla is the most dramatic, with its crowning fifteen-century minarets. It leads the visitors to a bazaar quarter that is as full of life today as it was in the Middle Age.
In the early Mameluke period, the sultans use to sit on the platform between the two towers to watch the procession of the Mahmal, the ceremonial palanquin that accompanied the annual pilgrimage caravan to Mecca. However, this gate was also a place for public executions, and the heads of criminals were displayed above the gates on spikes. Even Tumanbay, the last Mameluke sultan of Egypt was hanged here in 1517, after the country's conquest by the Ottomans. Tumanbay’s rope broke on the first two attempts before his luck ran out. His body remained suspended from the gate for three days, and then was buried
The views from towers are spectacular, although part of the neighborhood is sadly neglected.

Место очень аутентичное: крепостная стена, ворота, упирающаяся в стену главная улица средневекового города. Можно хорошо прочувствовать атмосферу Каира.

Bab Zuweila (or Zuwayla) dates to the days of Fatimid Cairo and was completed in 1092 AD. Located in the Islamic district of Al-Darb al-Ahmar, this historic landmark is one of three remaining medieval gates in the old city walls of Cairo. Historic Cairo was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979 so you don’t want to miss this area! Two minarets flank the gate and are open to visitors for a nominal fee. Although it’s a tight climb up a spiral staircase, the view at the top is worth the effort.

40ポンドの入場料で上に登りました。
私達は門の上までしか登りませんでしたが、景色がとても綺麗に見渡せました。
塔にも登れそうで、途中まで行きましたが、暗くて狭くて怖くなったので引き返しました。
塔の上からの景色も見たかったです。

ガーマ・ムハンマド・アリを見終わった後に、スルタン・ハッサン・モスクやガーマ・ムハンマド・アリに立ち寄って、さらにこのズヴェーラ門も通って、アル・アズハル・モスクまで歩いてみました。体感的には2時間ぐらいかかったような気がします。エジプトのディープな部分を感じることができました。とにかく歩きにくいです。ようやくここにたどり着いて時はヘトヘトでしたが、ツインタワーの立派な門でした。

美しい2つのミナレットを持つ城門です。そしてこの門には入場することが出来。またミナレットには最上部にまで登ることが出来ます。ここからの風景はカイロの街並みを広く眺めることが出来。正に絶景です。ミナレット内は暗く、狭く、最上部はかなり高所となる為、高所の苦手な人にお勧めできないのかもしれません

My husband and I tried to visit Bab Zuweila during our visit to Cairo in early December. I just wanted to update user @jennasypr's review from October and say that Alex is still hanging around Bab Zuweila trying to scam people. He approached us as we walked toward the gates and told us the exact same line about being an English teacher and historian. He tried to follow us into the Bab, saying that he was just going to pray. We felt so weirded out by him we left and came back later. We saw him scare away another group from entering as well. When we came back later, Alex hung back but signaled to a man he's working with inside the mosque who claims to be an employee but will try to get you to pay for showing you locked rooms inside the mosque that you didn't ask to see. We heard the Bab was nice but fighting through multiple scams to visit was just too much.

This gate borders the south side of Fatimid Cairo, and together with its correspondent on the north side, Bab el Futuh, allows one to realize the considerable size of the city at that time (the Fatimid dynasty reigns over Cairo for two centuries, since 973 until 1170 ca, Bab Zuweila itself is dated 1092).
It should also be noted that under the further dynasties of the Ayyubids (1170-1250) and the Mamluks (1250-1517), Cairo is still growing and its bult form is further transformed. In fact, on the one hand the city reaches, on the years between the 13th and 14th centuries, to be the largest in the world outside China: its inhabitants are estimated at around 500,000, when the largest European cities, such as Paris and Milan, at that time certainly surpassed 100,000 inhabitants, but not 200,000. On the other hand, the buildings - both civil and religious - belonging to the Fatimid period, and contained in the space between the two mentioned gates, were largely replaced by the ones constructed by the successive dynasties.
However the function of the two gates, north and south, in marking the limits of the Fatimid city, remains; just as - in contrast to what happened within the walls - the appearance that the doors had in the Fatimid era remains on the whole; an appearance that, according to scholars, has little Islamic, recalling rather Byzantine architectural models.
It's possible to climb the minarets, but we didn't do it: the vision alone of such an illustrious and well-preserved witness from Cairo in the past was already sufficient satisfaction for us.

Is it possible to go up the steps alone? Or do we need a guide/tour? Also can we go up at any time or is there opening hours? If so how can we find them and will they differ during Ramadan?
Many thanks!

Hi, it is certainly possible to go up to Bab Zuweila by yourself (even if I have not gone up).
If I remember correctly, the opening hours are 9 am-3pm. I don't know if they vary in Ramadan.

Hi Pamela, it all depends on your physical condition, its doable for sure at least to the second level where you will have a great view and see the paradox of Cairo.
Above that level, the steps are more like a thin bar and you can hold to the middle vertical center bar and get a little rush of adrenaline....
Enjoy !
