High vantage point on the Mokattam hills offering sweeping panoramas of Cairo—dense urban fabric, the Citadel skyline and distant minarets at golden hour; dramatic city-light scenes after dark. Best at sunrise or sunset for layered light; accessible by car or taxi with limited parking; dress modestly and ask before photographing locals.
