Al-Nasir Aqueduct

The Al-Nasir Aqueduct, often simply called the Cairo Aqueduct, is a grand hydraulic engineering structure from the Mamluk era. Its powerful stone arches stretch across modern neighborhoods, serving as silent testimony to the strategic thinking of the medieval city`s rulers. It functioned as a vital artery, channeling water from the Nile to the impregnable Citadel—the residence of the sultans and a symbol of power.
