    This is the inside of the Mosque of Mohammed Ali, built between 1830 and 1848, inside the walls of the Citadel. It is absolutely lovely, with a great courtyard outside with views over the city and graceful domes and minarets. He was the last ruler to live in the Citadel and was something of a tyrant; he was responsible for the massacre of 470 Mamluks inside the Citadel after treating them to a day of feasting and revelry.

    This is within the Northern Enclosure. The gardens and palaces are now used for the National Military Museum, behind this statue. It is well worth the visit to see the different styles of dress and national changes that Egypt and Cairo has undergone. The top floor is an exhibit of current and past military operations and especially the Arab wars of 67 and 73.

    To the left of the entrance of the National Military Museum is a static display area of various military vehicles either used or captured by the Egyptians during the Arab wars of 67 and 73. This is where the exit is to the Military Museum so if you wish to see the museum visit it and upon exiting you will be able to see the static displays.
