Top tips for Tokyo to Cairo
Visit Al-Azhar Mosque
Swap the sleek skyscrapers of Tokyo for Al-Alzar, a mosque that’s as old as Cairo.
Built in 972 AD, it was constructed to be a place of congregational prayer for the newly established city of Cairo. Although the original minaret no longer remains, there are many original features still intact. When visiting the mosque, remove your shoes before entering and dress modestly.
