<nowiki>###</nowiki> Historical Overview
{{Notelist}}
 
=== Kutipan ===
Old Cairo's history stretches back to ancient times, beginning with its establishment as a significant urban center. The area’s roots can be traced to the time of the Pharaohs, though much of what is visible today reflects the period from the early Christian era to the Islamic and Ottoman periods. This historical amalgamation makes Old Cairo one of the most fascinating districts in the city.

During the Pharaonic period, the area that would become Old Cairo was known as "Babylon," named after the ancient city of Babylon in Mesopotamia, though there is little evidence of its actual connection to the Mesopotamian Babylon. The Romans later established a fortress in this area, which contributed to its prominence as a military and administrative center.

<nowiki>###</nowiki> Coptic Cairo
 
[[Category:Situs Warisan Dunia UNESCO di Mesir]]
One of the most significant aspects of Old Cairo is its Coptic heritage. Coptic Cairo is home to some of the earliest Christian churches in Egypt. The Coptic Christian community, which traces its roots back to the earliest days of Christianity, has preserved numerous religious sites that offer a glimpse into early Christian practices and art.
 
<nowiki>**</nowiki>The Hanging Church**, or Saint Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church, is a highlight of Coptic Cairo. Built on top of the southern gatehouse of the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, the church is renowned for its location and its stunning architecture. Its name comes from its elevated position above the ground level, as it appears to be “hanging” over the remnants of the Roman fortifications.
 
Nearby is the **Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus**, believed to be built over the site where the Holy Family rested during their flight into Egypt. This church, with its ancient and intricate design, includes a crypt where it is said that the Holy Family stayed.
 
Another significant site is the **Coptic Museum**, which houses an extensive collection of Coptic artifacts, including manuscripts, textiles, and sculptures. The museum provides invaluable insight into the artistic and cultural achievements of the Coptic Christian community.
 
<nowiki>###</nowiki> Islamic Cairo
 
As Cairo evolved, so did its architectural and cultural landscape. The Islamic period brought new dimensions to Old Cairo, especially from the 7th century onwards, when the city was expanded and transformed under Islamic rule.
 
The **Amr ibn al-As Mosque**, built in 641 AD, is one of the oldest mosques in Egypt and marks the beginning of the Islamic era in Cairo. The mosque was constructed shortly after the Islamic conquest of Egypt and is a significant example of early Islamic architecture. Its simple, austere design contrasts with the more elaborate mosques that would later characterize Cairo’s architectural heritage.
 
Another notable Islamic structure is the **Mosque of Ahmad ibn Tulun**, built between 876 and 879 AD. This mosque is famous for its unique architectural style, including its expansive courtyard and distinctive spiral minaret, which is one of the oldest surviving minarets in Cairo.
 
The **City of the Dead**, an extensive necropolis and residential area, is also a significant aspect of Old Cairo’s Islamic heritage. This area, used as a burial site and living quarters, includes numerous tombs and mausoleums from different periods, reflecting the evolution of Islamic funerary architecture.
 
<nowiki>###</nowiki> Ottoman and Colonial Influences
 
The Ottoman period brought further changes to Cairo’s architectural landscape. Ottoman architecture, with its characteristic domes and minarets, added a new dimension to Old Cairo’s cityscape. Buildings from this era, including **Khan el-Khalili**, a bustling bazaar established in the 14th century, showcase the vibrant commercial and social life of the Ottoman period.
 
The bazaar remains one of Cairo’s most popular shopping destinations, offering a wide range of traditional crafts, textiles, and spices. Its labyrinthine alleys and vibrant atmosphere reflect the rich cultural tapestry of Old Cairo.
 
The colonial period, particularly under British rule, introduced new elements to the city, though these influences are less pronounced in Old Cairo compared to other parts of Cairo. Nevertheless, the blend of colonial architecture with traditional elements can be observed in some of the district's buildings and urban planning.
 
<nowiki>###</nowiki> Preservation and Modern-Day Significance
 
In recent decades, efforts have been made to preserve and restore Old Cairo’s historical sites. The area’s rich heritage attracts scholars, tourists, and historians, all eager to explore its ancient churches, mosques, and historic streets. Preservation projects aim to protect these sites from decay and ensure that future generations can continue to experience and learn from Old Cairo’s history.
 
Old Cairo is not only a historical treasure but also a living, breathing part of Cairo’s urban landscape. Its streets are filled with residents who maintain the traditions and customs passed down through generations. The area remains a cultural hub, hosting festivals, religious ceremonies, and community gatherings that reflect its diverse history.
 
<nowiki>###</nowiki> Conclusion
 
Old Cairo is a remarkable district that offers a multifaceted view of Egypt’s history. From its ancient roots as a Roman fortress to its role as a center of Coptic Christianity, Islamic scholarship, and Ottoman commerce, the area is a living mosaic of historical influences. Its churches, mosques, and marketplaces tell the story of Cairo’s evolution and the cultural interactions that have shaped the city over millennia. Visiting Old Cairo is not just an exploration of the past but also a vibrant engagement with a living heritage that continues to thrive amidst the modern city’s hustle and bustle.
