The al-Azhar mosque is the oldest university in the world. We visited on Thursday morning, and while it isn't the most ornate or the most beautiful mosque in Egypt, I was in awe, probably because it's the first mosque I've ever been to. I won't say much about the mosque because I don't have very much to add to the link above. But I enjoyed spending about an hour there, and I'm planning to visit some of Cairo's other mosques to take pictures and absorb the atmosphere.
Not what one might expect to see in a mosque:
This place was awe-inspiring. The rest of the pictures are up on Snapfish in the al- Azhar album.
