Embracing Old Fatimid Cairo

Last weekend, the Hedayet institute total immersion program students visited the fabulous sites of old Fatimid Cairo. Guided by a local tour guide, the students enjoyed the views from the palace of Saladin, discovered the history of mosque of Ibn Tulun before they had Arabic tea at Al-Fishawi cafe. Weekly trips are part of the total immersion program during which students visit major sites in Cairo and beyond.
