So I got back to Granada a few days ago from Cairo and Zurich. I had a really good time with Jake and his family. We went to the Pyramids, saw the Sphinx, went to the Citadel, Coptic Cairo and continued to explore the city little by little. Here are the pictures from the Citadel and the Khan el-Khalili market. Enjoy.
I don't remember what this is, sorry. But it looks cool.
The Citadel was built in the 12th century as an Islamic fortification. It also houses the Muhammed Ali mosque.
Outside the Citadel.
This is where people would cleanse "prepare" themselves before prayer.
The inside courtyard of the Citadel.
The beautiful ceiling.
Looking up at the huge crystal candelabra.
Jake and I inside the Citadel.
The carpet of the Citadel has this pattern to provide a space for people who come to pray to know in what direction to pray and to have their own space.

I'm not sure what is out there but this was the view from one part of the Citadel.

Typical market stand.
