Al-Azhar Mosque
From what I’ve been told, this is the oldest mosque in Africa. This picture is from an attached tower.

Beard and Stache
I figured I had to post one picture with the full beard and mustache up close. This one has the Citadel in the background adn was taken from the tower at the Al-Azhar Mosque.

City of the Dead
This is the city of the dead. A family will own a plot of land here for the burial of their loved ones in a tomb or mausoleum. It’s kind of creepy but cool in it’s own way.

Khan El-Khalili Market
This is a shot in the local Khan el-Khalili market. They sold all types of souveniers, cloths, and random stuff. I love the eclectiveness of the local markets, it’s fun to get into the culture rather than shopping at the malls.

Koshary
I’ve become a big fan of trying local food and let me tell you, Egypt has some good food. This here is called Koshary, it’s basically a mixture of pasta, rice, a tomato sauce, and friend onion strips in a bowl. This is a restaurant I visited that had the ingredients seperated apart before concoting the dish.
