Vincent Poon :: The Citadel (15th Apr 2007)
The Citadel was home to the Egypt's rulers for 700 years and contain a collection of mosques, palaces and terraces. Initially it was the beautiful outline of the mosque of Mohammed Ali that attracted me to come but I soon found out the Soviet MiGs and the tanks were more interesting!
