Busy Day at Sayyida Nafisa Mosque Painting

The mosque is located in the Sayyida Nafisa area near Old Cairo. It is one of the oldest mosques in the Cairo governorate because it contains the shrine of Sayyida Nafisa bint al-Hassan. Sayyida Nafisa was the great granddaughter of the Prophet Mohamed, she lived in Egypt last years of her live and died in Cairo in 824 AD. Sayyida Nafisa was known for her incredible charity, for her abstinence and piety, for religious teachings. She provided education for the young girls and women alike in her era. Nowadays the mosque became a part of the famous City of the Dead, where citizens of Cairo buried members of the families in mausoleums and crypts for many centuries. But just like in Medieval times, today here you will see women wearing traditional clothes rushing home with their purchases from the nearest market, and men spending the hot afternoon in various coffee shops with a water pipe and a cup of strong hot tea. And only electric cords crossing the sky will remind you that you are in the 21st century. Watercolor made on a high quality paper from Hahnemühle , 100% cotton, 300 gr
