Cairo - Mohmmad Ali Mosque

A Turkish delight on the Cairo skyline, the mosque was built in imitation of the Ottoman imperial mosques of Istanbul. Half domes rise as buttresses for the high central dome, while two thin minarets add an ethereal touch. Mohamad Ali's tomb is on the right as you enter the vast and opulently decorated interior.
