Today, I visited the Citadel
where the mosque of Mohamed Ali is and also a few Christian churches in Old
Cairo. The Mohamed Ali mosque is
unique because it was built in the Turkish style and takes after the Blue
Mosque in Turkey. I also went to
the Egyptian museum where there is a huge collection from the tomb of
Tut-Ankamon, a king who died at the age of 19. He had been named king when he
was 9 years old. It was amazing
all the things that were buried with him. The museum was incredible; so many
things that have been collected, many, many tombs and sculptures. It’s too bad
I wasn’t able to take some pictures. Cairo is very picturesque with all the
mosques spreading throughout the city. To me, you could call Cairo the cement
city. Everything here is built out of rock and cement. I will put a few more descriptions on
the pictures explaining a little bit more.
