Today we toured Islamic Cairo. We hit up the oldest, still standing, still original material mosque in Egypt, the Mosque/school of Sultan Hussan, and the epic house of Al-Suhaymi. The best part was climbing to the top of the first mosque. Later on, we finally convinced our teacher Hasnaa, who spent the day with us, to go to a shisha bar with us! Later on, we went to a giant park in the middle of Cairo. It was beautiful, and we watched the sun set. The vast amount of visible pollution was a bit of a mood killer, but all the green around us was worth it. Miggy and I just watched Lord of War, excellent movie. Five more days in Egypt and counting.
