[{"title":"El Moez Street","wiki_title":"Al-Mu'izz Street","description":null,"wiki_description":"Al-Muizz li-Din Allah al-Fatimi Street, or al-Muizz Street for short, is a major north-to-south street in the walled city of historic Cairo, Egypt. It is one of Cairo's oldest streets as it dates back to the foundation of the city by the Fatimid dynasty in the 10th century, under their fourth caliph, Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah .\nHistorically, it was the most important artery of the city and was often referred to as the Qasaba. It constituted the main axis of the city's economic zones where its souqs (markets) were concentrated. The street's prestige also attracted the construction of many monumental religious and charitable buildings commissioned by Egypt's rulers and elites, making it a dense repository of historic Islamic architecture in Cairo. This is especially evident in the Bayn al-Qasrayn area, which is lined with some of the most important monuments of Islamic Cairo.","day_image":"90c0fa96-6526-4385-c61e-c5fce4056a00","address":"","latitude":30.04666667,"longitude":31.26,"wiki_latitude":30.04666667,"wiki_longitude":31.26,"place_id":"4a9180eea9bd059dc76932e021b927c5","order":0,"tour_ids":"115375","order_tours":{"115375":0},"colors":["#da6465"],"posts_title":[{"title":"Free Khan El-Khalili Bazaar Tour Cairo","id":115375}]},{"title":"Sphinx","wiki_title":"Great Sphinx of Giza","description":"A sphinx is a mythical creature with the head of a human, the body of a lion, and the wings of an eagle.","wiki_description":"The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion.
