Today was our Islam day. We started at the Citadel, which was built by Saladin in C12. It was the seat of government until C19. The adjoining mosques were built about C19, one in Egyptian style the other Italian. We visited another 2 mosques. We had about an hour on our own exploring one of the market places, being constantly greeted - " where you from? Ozzie ozzie! "or pressured " How can I take your money? "
We often drive past the City of the dead. The bones in the mausoleums are collected and put aside and people move in. It's better than no home at all.
We had a rest back at the hotel, and then went to Giza to the sound and light show at the pyramids. I'm told it was pretty good but I missed a bit. Zzzz Then we had seafood dinner, 5 courses, from the Red Sea, then went home.
