Today we went on a tour of the citadel and the Cairo Military Museum.
This evening we ate at a recommended restaurant, Abu Shakra, and went to watch a movie (Spiderman 3) at a local theater.
As far as Islamic architecture is concerned, today's tour was by far the most impressive yet. The citadel is one of the more outstanding examples of Islamic military architecture in the world.
The Mohammad Ali Mosque was simply breathtaking. There is no way to convey the expansiveness and the beauty of this location in words or on film.
The military museum was impressive with its exhaustive review of Egyptian military history from pharaonic times to the present. The weather was much more cooperative today than it was earlier in the week for our felucca ride.
All in all, another good day in Cairo.
