Tombs of the Caliphs, Cairo, Egypt (circa 1903): A Glimpse into the Rich History of Islamic Rule This evocative photograph captures the Tombs of the Caliphs, situated below the Mokattam Hills in southeastern Cairo, Egypt. Known as the Cairo Necropolis or the City of the Dead, this ancient burial ground is a testament to the rich history of Islamic rule in Egypt. The Caliphs, also known as Khalifs or Kalifas, were the political and religious leaders of the Islamic world during the early Middle Ages. The Tombs of the Caliphs in Cairo are believed to house the remains of several of these esteemed figures, including Al-Mo'ezz li-Din Allah, the founder of the Fatimid Caliphate in 969 AD. The structures in this photograph are a mix of temples, mausoleums, and other mortuary architecture, reflecting the diverse influences that shaped Islamic art and architecture during this period. The intricate designs and ornate details of the structures speak to the grandeur and wealth of the caliphate during its height. The Tombs of the Caliphs are located in the Qarafa district, which is part of the larger El Arafa necropolis. This area has been used as a burial ground since ancient times and continues to be an important site for the Muslim community today. This photograph, taken around 1903, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Caliphs ruled over a vast and powerful Islamic empire. The Tombs of the Caliphs stand as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Islamic history and culture in Egypt and beyond.
