Photo taken on Oct. 2, 2011 shows the Mosque of Muhammad Ali in Cairo, Egypt. The Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha is situated on the summit of the Citadel of Cairo and commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848. The Ottoman mosque, with its animated silhouette and twin minarets, is the most visible mosque in Cairo. The mosque was built in memory of Tusun Pasha, Muhammad Ali's oldest son, who died in 1816. This mosque, along with the citadel, is one of the landmarks and tourist attractions of Cairo. [Xinhua/Qin Haishi]
