Looking towards the Citadel. On our left is the Rafai Mosque, and on the right is the Madrasa of Sultan Hassan. To be honest, we were really not impressed by the mosques after what we'd seen in Turkey and Morocco. They all charge expensive admission, there's no one actually worshipping in them, they're not well kept up... We should have just stopped after Ibn Tulun and gone back to shopping.
