I returned to Cairo in winter 2004 and took some more mosque photos. Following is the new collection. The mosques of Ibn Tulun and Sultan Hassan can be seen on the first mosques of Cairo page.
Old favourite, mosque of Ibn Tulun
To show how architectural rich Cairo really is below is a map of just part of the old city from Caroline Williams' excellent book "Islamic Monuments in Cairo"
From top to bottom is about 1.5kms
Madrasa of Barquq (1386)
Madrasa of Gani Bak (1427). People still go about their daily business in narrow streets little changed for hundreds of years.
On the left is the mosque of Sultan Hassan on the right Rifai mosque
In the centre of the Sultan Hassan mosque stands a small pavillion originally designed as a decorative fountain but now used for ritual oblutions. Hanging from hundreds of chains are glass oil lamps
