From the Police Museum’s balcony you can see into the narrow entrance where 470 Mamluk beys (governors) met their end at the hands of Mohammed Ali’s troops in 1811. This was the end of the Mamluks in Egypt and the beginning of Mohammed Ali’s rule. The Mamluks were invited to the citadel under false pretences for a celebration and when they arrived the gates were closed behind them. Mohammed Ali’s troops then moved in and it was all over for the Mamluks there are also another landmarks in cairo you can visit during your stay Cairo Day Tours provide you with numerous suggestions and also if you want to travel to another countries to explore them and visit their landmarks Egypt Travel Packages provide you with Numerous suggestions and if you want to travel with your family and enjoy quality time with each other Egypt Family Tours help you choose and not only cairo has landmarks but also luxor and aswan Egypt Tours offer you wide range of alternatives and also if you want to be in a private tour Egypt Private Tours give you many offers to choose
