Description

Bab Zuweila is a medieval gate in Cairo, which is still standing in modern times. It was also known as Bawabbat Al-Mitwali during the Ottoman period, and is sometimes spelled Bab Zuwayla. It considered the last remaining southern gate from the walls of Fatimid Cairo in the 11th and 12th century. Its name comes from Bab, meaning "Gate", and Zuwayla, the name of a troop of fearsome Berber warriors from the western desert who were on charge with guarding the gate.
