Today also, I decided to visit Islamic Cairo, most specifically the Citadel. I arrived there and I paid my 40 EGP to get in. I looked all around and went into the alabaster mosque of Mohammed Ali, this time the ladies at the door, didn't robe me up, which is testament to the way I've been dressing here. Must have looked respectful enough. I took off my shoes and went in, I was as impressed as last time and got some really good pictures. The dome is extra impressive and the view of Cairo and the City of the Dead is amazing.
I also visited the military museum and was amazed to find bombs just sitting around. There were some really cool British fighter planes left over from the war and quite a few tanks. I spent a good deal of time looking around there; we all know how much I love weapons. I contemplated getting a henna tattoo, but I was out of time and went to wait for my driver, who was half an hour late anyway, which was quite annoying.
I got back to my hotel and went over to McDonalds and ate a Big Mac Chicken, which was just about the most awesome thing I've ever eaten from there. They should definitely import that over to Oz.
