Day 4
Citadel
October 16, 2022 in Egypt ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Overlooking the city of Cairo is the citadel and the Mosque of Mohamed Ali. We took off our shoes and visited the alabaster mosque and found it impressive. Alabaster is a type of marble that is translucent so light will shine through it. The tomb of Mohamed Ali is located in the Mosque. Dianne asked if it was the same Mohamed Ali of boxing fame. I’m pretty sure it is his name sake. From the vantage point of the citadel/mosque you can see all of Cairo, as well as the pyramids. We took some pictures and went for lunch.Read more
