Al-Khalifa Street Area is one of the few areas that is regularly visited by local and international visitors. This is due to the presence of religious monuments that are connected to prominent figures that have mawlids (religious festivals). Furthermore, al-Khalifa Street Area contains one of the oldest monuments that has survived in Cairo (the Ibn Tulun Mosque), and a number of other monuments. Al-Khalifa Street Area lacks visitors’ centres and services, which can be accommodated in restored monuments or vacant plots close to the visitors’ routes.
