The AUC library, the concrete building in the distance, is the main building on one of three downtown campuses all within a five minute walk of one another. The library is on Greek campus. 

Inside Greek Campus: Many people sit on the library steps during the day, and as pictured, the library windows face into the quad.

Citadel, Pyramids (again), and felucca ride on the Nile

My friend Oded was also visiting from Israel.

The Mohammed Ali mosque, which sits at the heart of the Citadel. The Citadel, which overlooks Cairo from the East, was the seat of power here for several hundred years.
