Below is a photo of an iftar with our Professor Rasha in Al Azhar Park.
Al Azhar Park was built towards the end of the 90's on an enormous trash heap, the dump for the old city around it. During construction, workers uncovered a 12th century wall built by the Ayyubid Dynasty, the Sunni Muslim Kurdish family that ruled much of the Middle East at the time. The wall was partially restored and can still be seen disappearing under the hills.
