Geosites in the Islamic Age, Cairo - Egypt

Historic Cairo's Islamic-era geosites, including the Saladin Citadel and its surrounding streets, represent a unique segment of geological heritage that reflects the confluence of cultures shaping Egypt. This study identifies and evaluates these sites as geosites, highlighting their significance in both archaeological and geological contexts. The research employs field investigations and sample analysis to recognize and document the geological value of Islamic-era structures, demonstrating how they contribute to the broader understanding of Egypt's layered history. By converting archaeological sites into geosites, this work underscores the enduring importance of Cairo's Islamic heritage for scientific study and cultural preservation.
