Bab Zuwailah is among the gates of Fatimid Cairo, and it is one of the doors that is still standing to this day, bearing witness to an important period in the history of Egypt, especially the era of the Fatimids and Ayyubids. The door witnessed the most important historical events, which was the hanging of the heads of the messengers of Hulagu, the leader of the Tatars, on it when they came to threaten the Egyptians. He was also executed. He also had Sultan Tuman Bey when Selim I conquered Egypt and annexed it to the Ottoman Empire. Recently, the “Kingdoms of Fire” series highlighted him, and the role of Tuman Bey was played by the star Khaled Al Nabawi.
