Abbasiya, Hadaik al-Kubba and Medinet-Nasr Hadaik al-Kubba: Nassers grave
In the northeast from Abbasiya according to Shary al-Caliph al-Mamun (Shary Abbasy's continuation) the modern mosque costs near a dusty tomb in what there is a grave Gamalya Abdel Nasera. When Nasser was lost in September, 1969, million Egyptians saw off him a funeral train on streets of Cairo, and all Arab world was in mourning. Nasser's cult has been considerably belittled then by Sadat (which feared comparisons to it), and in recent years the most part of guests of a grave of Naser is foreign fans or gloating-over Israelis. Whatever Egyptians about Naser Khalid's offspring who has been accused in connection with Tkhavraat Masri (The Egyptian revolution) - the supported Libya the group attacking objects of the USA and Israel in the 1980th reflected, the legend of his father has kept the force. Saddam Hussein's statement that it is «Naser's spiritual successor», was only the most nedavneshny attempt of the Arab favourite metaphorically to take a blade from a stone (a hint on king Arthur. - Comment перев.).
The grave is on the brink of Hadaik al-Kubba, the area named on a palace Cuba of Ismail. Four hundred its rooms have been inherited hedivy by Tawfeeq, and late in them the wide collection of king Farouk settled down: the most rare brands, coins and other values from medieval Koranov to the index of temperature of Faberge. During the current time it is the residence of the president applied to municipal meetings. Not including that, specifically here the shah of Iran has spent the last days of own exile. The district of a palace surrounded with walls can be beheld, following on a route of the No. bus 420 of Abbasiya. To reach a palace and to Naser's tomb it is most ideal by the underground (station «A shed ale - Cube-oh» and "Kubri el-Kubi" respectively).
