Capítulo 116: Massive Changes in Cairo

October 20th, 1798.

As the first rays of dawn peeked over the horizon, casting a golden hue upon the ancient city of Cairo, Napoleon stood atop the towering walls of the citadel known as the "Salah El-Din Citadel." The morning breeze carried with it the scent of history, mingling with the anticipation that filled the air. From this fortified stronghold, perched majestically on a hill in the eastern part of the city, Napoleon gazed out upon the sprawling landscape below.

From this strategic vantage point, the citadel offered more than just a panoramic vista. It provided Napoleon with the means to survey the intricate tapestry of streets, markets, and mosques that sprawled beneath him.
