You can see, on the left,Sultan Hassan Mosque.
This is one of the extraordinarily wonderful Islamic Monuments in the Islamic World.
If ancient Egypt is proud of the Pyramids of Giza,
Islamic Egypt has to be proud of the Sultan Hassan Madrassa.
The founder of this gigantic monument is the Sultan Hassan,
son of the great Mamluke Sultan Al-Nasser Mohamed Ibn Qalawoun.
The construction of the Mosque started in 1361,
and the work continued for 4 years.


The impressive building on the right is Al-Rifa'i Mosque.
It's located opposite the Madrassa of Sultan Hassan,
and was architecturally conceived as a complement to the older structure.
