Two slender minarets tower above one of the old city gates of Islamic Cairo, and offer a great view over the entire city.
I walked up to the narrow second minaret and climbed the stairs, high stone steps leading me always higher. At one point, there was a possiblity to step outside and enjoy the view. A little higher up, though, the stairs finished. Instead, I found a metal construction with narrow steps leading further up in a spiral. The top of the minaret was irresistible and I went up on the shaky ladder, spiralling higher up. I had to squeeze myself through a narrow opening and then found myself on a narrow space, with a superb view over the city, and also a dizzying view right down.
