Cairo: Khan-al-Khalili

We stayed at the Hotel Al-Hussein which is in the centre of Khan-al-Khalili in Islamic Cairo. The rooms and the top-floor restaurant have very good views over the square Midan Hussein. This square is surrounded by an extensive network of narrow streets containing souks. Two big mosques are nearby. We visited the Al-Azhar mosque which was founded 1000 years ago and includes a university.
