Sightseeing
Al-Hussein Mosque
شارع Hasan El-AdawyNearly all the monuments along this street have been restored and are open to visit with a single ticket. The street itself is beautiful, and is lit up each night. My favorite is the Agha al-Silahdar mosque. Make sure you visit the cisterns underground.
There's often live music in the plaza in the evenings.
