Al-Darb al-Ahmar (Arabic: الدرب الأحمر, lit. 'the red way/street') is a centuries old historic neighbourhood in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Historic Cairo, Egypt.[1] Located south of the old walled city of Cairo, originally built by the Fatimids in the 10th century, it began to urbanize largely during the 14th century in the Mamluk period.
Today, al-Darb al-Ahmar is an administrative division (qism) within the district of Wasat al-Qahira (Central Cairo).[2][3][4] This division includes the area south of al-Azhar street, encompassing the southern half of the original Fatimid Cairo and what is now al-Azhar University, as well as the nearby Al-Azhar Park.
