Saladin managed to do this, he became the Caliph himself (1174 CE), and decided to build a Citadel “fortress” to defend Cairo against any potential attacks by the Crusaders. The Citadel became the seat of the government for a very long time, until another Egyptian King, “Mohamed Ali”, decided to build a mosque and a mausoleum for himself, at (1831 CE), he was the founder of the last Royal Dynasty Egypt had, ending with the expulsion of his last descendent, the famous “King Farouk” (1952 CE).
