# Cairo Citadel tourism captures modern rent from an Ayyubid labour landscape

Date: 2000

## The fact

After conservation and museum presentation, the Citadel became a mass ticketed view over Cairo. State heritage offices capture the view; the neighbourhood does not audit the object-level take.

## Context

Tickets can fund stone and can exclude neighbours. Stored as a heritage-governance opacity path of medium confidence. 1170s labour is not rebated. Inequality of cultural rent is adjacent on the labour row.

[Saladin](/people/saladin) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official heritage, encyclopedia, or edition pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Egypt Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities — Citadel of Cairo (https://egymonuments.gov.eg/en/archaeological-sites/cairo-citadel/; Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, Egypt).

## Significance

A postcard is not a qadi’s register. Publish object-level accounts to raise confidence.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is [institutional-corruption](/drivers/institutional-corruption). The welfare reading used in this dossier is worsening. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
