Review:

Dating back to the 12th century, Salah al-Din is Egypt's main military museum and castle. Sited on top of a hill, it was originally built originally to join Cairo with Fustat and now holds a number of museums and sights. Visitors can purchase the usual touristy souvenirs near the entrance, but what you'll really want to see is the view of the pyramids, visible once you climb to the top. There is a weapons museum on site that has weapons dating back to the Ottoman era. There is plenty to look at and see during your visit to this monumental place.
