This limestone cliff in eastern Cairo has been quarried for 5,000 years (the pyramids are about 20 miles from here), and quarrymen to this day continue to chisel at its face. At upper right is the mini-mosque of Masjid al-Juyushi (1085 A.D.) To me the mosque is one of the most mysterious places in Cairo, but I'm not sure how to get up there.
