On the night of the 27th of Ramadan I decided to go to Masjid Amr ibn Al-Aas, despite having been warned that I wouldn’t find a spot to pray and that if I did go I should arrive well before Maghrib (another advice that, for some reason, I didn’t heed).

I know I haven’t been doing a good job blogging my semester in Egypt. Now that Ramadan has come to pass, and I’ve finally found some time to write some posts, I’m going to try to blog about my experience at least once a week inshaAllah/God-willing!
To start off: I’m taking this really informative class on Islamic architecture “The Development of Islamic Architecture in the City of Cairo”. It wasn’t originally fitting into my semester schedule, so I decided to audit the class (just sit in and take the class, no credit). Its especially amazing because our professor is being issued a special permit to take us to some sites that aren’t open to tourists (or Egyptians for that matter), and others that are sealed off. So I’ll definitely be updating posts on our field trips. We’ve already been to several sites, that I’ve lagged to post 
Should be up today iA!
