Tahrir Square Obelisk (مسلة ميدان التحرير)

Iconic public square that witnessed historical changes in Egypt, crowded, busy and entertaining, many important places are around to watch such as Egyptian Museum, Metro station, many shops, hotels and eateries...

Just be there, remember everything that happened there, your memories, your lost hope, the square before the development work is it better now? But at least you could enjoy the air that filled with scent of martyrs unfortunately although all of that no one can hate tahrir Square but in some day I will Also the photography is prohibited there and again ACAB

Huge. One of the most important venues of Downtown Cairo. Try crossing the street without having a heart attack and fighting for your life

The place is very nice during early morning before is congested by traffic, or late evening in the night after 9:00 PM. You can enjoy taking pictures and the view of historic building.

Tahrir Square is one of the most famous squares in Cairo and all of Egypt. It is surrounded by important areas such as the Egyptian Museum and the Qasr al-Nil Bridge. It is characterized by the presence of the obelisk of King Ramses II and Statues of 4 Rams.

The most iconic square in all of Cairo and also in the Arab world, the square is located in the city center of Cairo and it gained its fame from the 25 January protests in Egypt in 2011, currently the area around the square is full of policemen but that has nothing to do with one’s movement or anything, and also Anwar Sadat metro station is located in the square area and if you ever found yourself in Downtown Cairo I’d suggest walking by the square.

Visited 7 October 2022 A free site to see in Egypt ( there aren't many ) Journeyed here from the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation via Uber. To all travellers wanting to get around Cairo use Uber it is safe, simple and very very inexpensive. We got dropped on one side of the square and had to make our way over to the other side. Luckily there is a pedestrian crossing which you can use instead of trying to cross by yourself. Though when you get the hang of crossing the street it is very easy and a very exhilarating experience especially on some of the larger roads. At the centre of the square is a large roundabout with an obelisk of Ramses The Great which was removed from the Tanis archaeological site in 2020 I believe. There are also four Ram sphinxes surrounding the obelisk. The square is famous for the site of the political demonstrations that ousted the Mubarak government in the Arab Spring of 2011 You will find the Egyptian Museum at one end of the Square.

A bit empty than usual because of the holidays but very nice to enjoy when it's empty
