We decided to grab a taxi and head to the Citadel, a complex of buildings originally built and fortified by the ruler Saladin in 1173. The fortress offers great hilltop views of Cairo and the desert beyond. If you look *really* closely in the city panorama shot, you can make out the outlines of the two main pyramids of Giza in the center. It was our first view of the pyramids!
There are several mosques inside the fort, one of which is especially grand and is where Connor got a little artistic...
very cool you two! Brian
