Al-Qahira Castle is a historical castle located in the ancient city of Taiz, Yemen. It is also known as the Cairo Castle, as it was built by the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt in the 13th century. The castle is situated on top of a hill overlooking the city, providing a strategic defensive position.

The castle's construction began in 1174 and was completed in 1200. It was designed to withstand sieges and attacks, with walls that are over 6 meters thick in some places. The castle also features several towers, including the famous Qahira Tower, which stands over 30 meters tall.

Over the centuries, the castle has been used for various purposes, including as a military base, a prison, and a royal palace. Today, it serves as a popular tourist attraction, with visitors drawn to its impressive architecture and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

In recent years, the castle has unfortunately been affected by the ongoing conflict in Yemen, with some parts of the castle suffering damage from shelling and airstrikes. Despite this, efforts are underway to preserve and restore the castle for future generations to enjoy.
