Old Cairo __NOTOC__ Old Cairo (Egyptian Arabic: ''Masr el Qadīma'') is that part of Cairo, Egypt which pre-dates the Fatimid city of al-Qahira, founded in 969 CE. ==Description== Old Cairo contains the remnants of those cities which were capitals before al-Qahira, such as Fustat, al-Askar and al-Qatta'i. These are the location of the Mosque of Amr and the Mosque of ibn Tulun, though little else remains today. This area also encompasses Coptic Cairo and its many old churches and ruins of Roman fortifications. Modern tourists visit locations such as the Coptic Museum, the Babylon Fortress, the Hanging Church and other Coptic churches, the Ben Ezra Synagogue and the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As. Fort Babylon is a Roman fortress around which many of the Egyptian Christians' oldest churches were built. Count Gabriel Habib Sakakini Pasha (1841–1923), who had become a household name in his time, built a palace and a church in the El-Sakakini area in 1897〔(Egy.com )〕 and established the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Old Cairo.〔(Report on Sakakini Pasha's granddaughter Asma el Bakri )〕
