Al-Khalifa

Cairo

Cairo has more than Pyramids.
There is a brass clock tower in the middle of the northwestern riwak, which was presented to Muhammad Ali by King Louis Philippe of France in 1845. The clock was reciprocated with the obelisk of Luxor now standing in Place de la Concorde in Paris. Funny thing is that the clock has never worked... #Cairo #Egypt
The great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha or Alabaster Mosque is a mosque situated in the Citadel of Cairo in Egypt and commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848.

Situated on the summit of the citadel, this Ottoman mosque, the largest to be built in the first half of the 19th century, is, with its animated silhouette and twin minarets, the most visible mosque in Cairo. #Egypt #Cairo
Such a beautiful citadel! Make sure to dress respectfully and take your shoes off!

It is important to mention that the staff is not very friendly; it sometimes feels like the ruder you are to them, the more attentive they become. The security screening staff are particularly impolite and intrusive. The receptionist provided a normal service, nothing extraordinary. The rooms are ...
