A lot of people, when they visit Egypt, only think of the great pyramids and temples of the past. Many fail to see the simple yet complex beauty of the many mosques.
They are wonders of geometric detail, the mosques. And, there's something incredibly soothing, about relaxing in the middle or end of the day, to the sound of the singing, broadcast from loudspeakers, all over the city. I had one wonderful experience, sitting on the desert sand, literally at the edge of the Fayoum Oasis, and hearing the singing floating up from the far-distant town by the water. It was a monent filled with peace and traquility.
