Cairo gate Bab al-Futuh 1882
Bab al-Futuh ( lit. 'Conquest Gate ) is one of three remaining gates in the city wall of the old city of Cairo, Egypt. It is located at the northern end of al-Mu'izz Street. The other two remaining gates are Bab al-Nasr ( Victory Gate ) in the north and Bab Zuwayla ( Gate of Zuwayla ) in the south. The gate was built during the Fatimid period, originally in the 10th century, then rebuilt in its current form in the late 11th century.
