The image displays a panoramic view of an expansive cityscape, with notable historical and architectural landmarks such as pyramids in the distance. In the foreground are rocky outcrops that provide a vantage point for viewing the scene below. The middle ground is dominated by dense clusters of buildings with flat rooftops, indicative of traditional Islamic architecture found in Cairo, Egypt. Prominent structures include mosques characterized by their dome-shaped roofs and minarets reaching into the sky.

The background showcases wide-open sandy plains extending to a horizon under a clear blue sky, suggesting an arid climate typical for this region. The overall color palette is earthy with shades of brown dominating due to sandstone buildings and the desert landscape behind them. A caption at the bottom indicates that the photograph was taken in "Vieux Caire," which translates from French as Old Cairo—a historic district known for its ancient heritage.

This image captures a moment in time, likely around 1905 given the historical context of Photoglob Company's production and photographic techniques used during this period. It serves not only as an artistic representation but also offers valuable insight into Egypt's rich history, architecture, and urban development at that era.

I was lucky enough to visit Cairo’s old Christian and Jewish quarters.I found a lovely series of contemporary mosaics in a courtyard in front of the famous Coptic Hanging Church.
I haven’t found information about this specific mosaic yet and I’m not familiar with Coptic iconography so I’m not sure who this depicts. That looks like a halo but there’s a cross on his forehead so I don’t think that would be Jesus. Perhaps a Coptic saint?

Large mosaic built into an outside wall. It shows a white-bearded old man in hooded brown robes. There’s a white cross on his hood and what looks like a halo behind him. location: Cairo, Egypt, Old Coptic Christian Quarter

🔹Eleventh Century iconography
🔹Elaborate funerary designed pulpit
🔹Variously styled columns that speak to the diversity of the Church and her faithful.
