I'm visiting Cairo for the first time in 2026 and want to see Salah El Din Citadel. What's the best time of day to go to avoid the crowds and heat, and how long should I plan to spend there?

Afternoons around 3pm work if u want the citadel lit gold for photos, and the Al-Nasir Mohammed mosque side stays nearly empty then.

That light works, but check prayer times first.

Go right at 8am opening, the tour buses don't hit until 10. I'd budget two hours minimum since the Mosque of Muhammad Ali and the military museum eat time, and the walk to the viewpoints is longer than it looks on a map. Friday mornings are quietest.
