Bab Zuweila

Bab Zuwayla is one of three remaining gates in the city walls of historic Cairo, built in 1092 by the Fatimid vizier Badr al-Jamali. The gate has two minaret towers on top, added between 1415 and 1422 as part of the construction of the adjacent Mosque of Sultan al-Muayyad. It is a significant landmark in Cairo and has undergone restoration projects, including a five-year conservation project between 1998 and 2003. The gate is also known as Bawabat al-Mitwali, after the Muslim saint Mitwali al-Qutub, and is believed to have spiritual and social associations.
