This photo was taken from one of the minarets of Al Azhar mosque in Cairo, which I had to climb in complete darkness just as the evening prayers were about to start.

Wow!! That’s a really awesome photo !!
Great photo. I kinda of feel giddy looking at it. Must be the height you were at.
Thanks Natalie!
I also felt a little giddy especially that I had to climb the tall and narrow minaret in complete darkness, but it was worth it :)
