I'm excited to take you on a journey through the ancient streets of Old Cairo. Get ready to capture some of the most stunning architectural gems of the city with your camera. Let's explore the city's vibrant culture, art, and history together.
Here's the detailed itinerary of the Photowalk:
Our first stop is the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, one of the oldest and largest mosques in Cairo. The mosque's unique architecture, with its spiral minaret and open courtyard, is sure to take your breath away. Don't forget to capture the intricate carvings and patterns on the walls and ceilings.
Next, we'll visit the magnificent Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan. This massive complex, built in the Mamluk era, is a fine example of Islamic architecture. The intricate stonework, soaring arches, and exquisite details make it a photographer's paradise.
Our third stop is the Al-Rifa'i Mosque, located across from the Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan. The mosque's façade is a fusion of Ottoman and Mamluk styles, and its interiors are adorned with beautiful stained-glass windows and ornate chandeliers.
Next, we'll take a stroll through the bustling Souq El Selah St. Here you'll find a variety of traditional crafts and souvenirs, including pottery, carpets, and jewelry. This is a great opportunity to capture the energy and vibrancy of the local market.
Our next stop is the ancient gate of Bab Zuweila, one of the city's most iconic landmarks. This medieval gate, built in the 11th century, is one of the last remaining gates of the original city walls. From the top of the gate, you'll get a panoramic view of the city.
Our final stop is the El-Khayamiya Cloth Market, a place where you'll find stunning Egyptian textiles and fabrics. You'll have the opportunity to photograph the colorful tapestries, quilts, and wall hangings that the market is famous for.
I can't wait to share this experience with you. Remember, the best camera is the one you have, so don't worry if you don't have a professional camera. All you need is a love for photography and a desire to explore the beauty of Old Cairo. See you on Saturday, September 23, 2023!
