We went to Al Azhar mosque at sundown prayer time and waited in the back until they were done

The minaret from the Qalawun complex, about 13th century.

 
This is the Barquq mosque from the 14th century.  Absolutely stunning.

The 7th century Christian Church, known as the Hanging Church

 
Pictures from inside the Hanging Church

Me and my mom at St. George Cathedral, another Christian church in the oldest part of Cairo

 
It was very beautiful inside as well

 
With my brother Mat at the Naguib Mahfouz Cafe and all of us at the Barquq Mausoleum

 
On a felucca ride on the Nile river(L) and my brother at his office at the American University in Cairo (R)
