Completely worn down and still heavily damaged by the 1992 earthquake, the Al Maridani mosque shows its beauty for whom takes the time to discover it. As a bonus, the view from the roof and the minaret is fabulous.
Next to the main entrance, a wooden door leads to a staircase leading to the roof - the caretaker of Al Maridani mosque will open this door. The roof gives great views of the surrounding area, and much of Cairo. Minarets everywhere, but also the skyline of modern Cairo and the Citadel. It is shocking to see how the houses just next to the mosque have apparently been neglected after the 1992 earthquake and are just in ruins, while the ground floor is still being used. From the roof, you can climb further up in the minaret; the last part is a shaky metallic flight of steps which took me to a narrow hole through which I could squeeze myself and enjoy a majestic view over the city.
