Travelling to Ibn Taluun

It has been a while since I blogged any photos from my last year in Egypt. A combination of slow Internet combined with my general apathy means I have a lot of catching up to do. This entry captures some of my favourite pictures taken on my journey to the mosque of Ibn Talun. Recommended by my friend K, a long weekend and plenty of time meant I took up her recommendation. The opening photo was captured at the main Cairo train station where my journey, trip, began.


Mubarak train station.


A man hand makes the Tabla drum with which no Egyptian music is without.


The geometry of this shot appealed to me. I'm one mosque away from Ibn Talun.


This is the inner courtyard of Ibn Talun. The pictures doesn't quite do justice to the sheer scale of the place.
