The mosque at the Citadel





So beautiful. And I was shocked and amazed at the westerners who came in wearing shorts and bikini tops. My god, how far removed can you possibly be from the sensibilities of the local culture! How fucking rude, really. So I guess I'm not all that surprised, really. But I kinda was. I always wear a veil in a mosque. It's just what you should do. Even if you aren't Muslim. It just is. Trust me. Unless you are a dude. In which case you should definitely NOT wear shorts! For real. Just don't. In fact, if you are male, you should definitely not wear short pants anywhere in Egypt. Ever. Again, trust me.
