Egypt

Went to Egypt museum.

Went inside Mosque of Sayyidna al-Hussein. At the time thought it was just a random Mosque but went in to see people actually praying (guy at door waved me in and of corse asked for money as I left by pointing at a drawer with money in it). In addition to praying some people were taking pictures of some box looking thing surrounded by a silver cage. This was the most out of place I have ever felt. Later at the hotel found it on the map in tour book. Turns out it is supposedly the burial place of the prophet's grandson's head and as one of the most sacred Islamic sites in Egypt non-Muslims are not allowed inside. It is amazing how many rules can be broken for a one dollar tip!

Will write about other events of the day when I get back.
