Facts and practical information

The Cairo Citadel Aqueduct or Mamluk Aqueduct is a medieval aqueduct system in Cairo, Egypt. It was first conceived and built during the Ayyubid period but was later reworked by several Mamluk sultans to expand the provision of water to the Citadel of Cairo. Although no longer functioning today, much of the aqueduct structure, including its water intake tower, still stands. ()
