The walk begins where the city's stones still speak: you step off a narrow lane onto Al-Muizz li-Din Allah Street as lamps warm the carved façades and minarets silhouette the sky. Voices of vendors mix with the hush of nighttime prayers; you move from courtyards and madrasas toward the Nile, finishing the evening with a panoramic dinner inside Cairo Tower’s rotating restaurant.
