    Beit Zeinab al-Khatoun

    Leaving Al-Azhar Mosque, turn left and then left again into an alley between the southern wall of the mosque and a row of shops housed in the vaults of a 15th-century merchants’ building. At the top of this road lies Beit Zeinab al-Khatoun, a small but interesting Ottoman-era house with a rooftop affording superb views of the surrounding minaret-studded skyline.
