Highlight 3, enter Sabil Muhammad Ali "5 L.E for students 10 L.E for tourists":
unfortunately a few people know about this wonderful Sabil, it's simply was a place to get the water, but the amazing thing is that, we'll get down down down to see the water cistern :D it's completely new experience, also we'll see the old Egyptian school class inside this Sabil.
