Tour of Al-Azhar Mosque
Wednesday, 15th August, at 4 p.m.
Dating back to more than an entire millennium, Al-Azhar mosque was built to propagate the Shiite Islam. However, it soon acquired an amazing reputation as the foremost center of Islamic scholarship. Today, it is known as the oldest university in the world. Al-Azhar mosque has been the epicenter of several political movements in Egyptian history.
Journey back in time to the splendid sights and sounds of Cairo and marvel at the wonders of her founders! Doors to adore, entrancing entrances, fascinating facades and illuminating minarets!

In this beautiful tour of words and deeds, history and architecture
are elegantly braided together. Travel back in time to the splendid
scents, sights and sounds of historic Cairo, the fabled bridge between
ancient Egypt and modern Egypt. This is the story of the rise and fall
of the Islamic Empire.
In this tour, I shall prove that there exists an architectural
historian technique whereby history can be interpreted through
architecture. Behold! Seddik technique is unique.
"Travel. Set out and head for pastures new. Life tastes richer when
you've rode warm feet. No water that stagnates is fit to drink, for
only that which flows is truly sweet ...." - Ibn Battuta
"behind the gates of glory and façades of fame lie unique stories of
rise and fall that teach us to never give in, in nothing great or
small, in the march of history against the juggernaut of time. When
domes dominate a relief of belief reveals the architecture of history
in the history of architecture through abodes beyond the boundaries of death.
The minarets dot the I's and cross the T's of architecture, furnishing
a Rosetta Stone to untangle the web of history. The palaces of
startling elegance provide visual biographies highlighting the
salience of sailing in the sea of history and granting us a passport
to the past.

Let Seddik speak and fly you to the peak of the most glamorous civilization- the splendor that was Egypt.

The Egyptian museum is a mesmerizing mosaic of history made of the finest gifts of the Nile -- It is a Rosetta stone the size of Egypt.

The scintillating City of the Dead, anecdotally known as Al-Qarafa, is
so full of life and amenities that if you sum, you realize it is more
town than slum. We will be able to label the fabled vast necropolis
and feast our eyes on monuments glorious from the City Victorious.
True to the vision of some of its founders, the City of the Dead has
the power to entertain the mind and retain the body. Around 100,000
Cairenes live here amongst the dead. At the pinnacle of Islamic art,
the monuments are architected to articulate the vision of the stellar
dweller. The Mameluke Sahara is the modern Sakkara.
Picnic among the graves in the City Beyond the Walls!
We attempt to see:
Mamelukes St.
Sultan Ahmed St.
Mausoleum of Sir Ahmed Hassanein Pasha (1889-1946), Author of the Lost Oases
"Ahmad Mohammad Makhluf Hasanein al-Buluki"
Tomb of Narriman Sadek, Cinderella of the Nile, the Last Queen of Egypt
War Martyrs Tombs
