Inside the courtyard of the Sultan al-Nasr Mohammed mosque within the Citadel in Cairo. It is the only surviving Mamluk building within the Citadel. The marble which originally covered the floors and lined the walls was removed under the instructions of Ottoman ruler Selim I.

The courtyard of the Mohammed Ali mosque in the Citadel in Cairo. In the centre of the courtyard is this ablutions fountain, beyond which you can see a clock tower shrouded in scaffolding. The ornate clock in the clock tower was a gift from King Louis-Philippe of France, in exchange for the obelisk that stands in Paris’s Place de la Concorde.
