“Fighter’s Heaven”, Muhammad Ali’s Training Camp in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, was the training facility built by Muhammad Ali, where he trained for some of his biggest fights. It is now open to the public, free of charge, to tour.
Built between 1830 and 1848, the long time it took to complete this monument may be due to its size, gigantic by Cairo's architectural standards. That, combined with its prominent location and its profile of domes flanked by a pair of slender high minarets, contribute to its prestige. The Egyptians themselves place a great deal of pride in this monument.
The pencil shaped minarets, over eighty meters high, stand on bases only three meters wide. Though the architecture of the mosque is entirely Ottoman, the domes are, relative to their width, higher and less squat than those in Istanbul..Taken @Cairo, Egypt

A worker cleans some of the hanging lights in the main hall of the Mosque of Muhammad Ali in Cairo. The great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha sometimes called the Alabaster Mosque, is located in the Citadel in Cairo, Egypt. It was built between 1830 and 1848 and is the most visible mosque in Cairo.

"Chaque mètre de Hollywood Boulevard dévoile une étoile du Walk of Fame, la promenade des Célébrités. Ces plaques incrustées dans le trottoir -plus de 2700- rendent hommage aux grands noms du monde du spectacle (cinéma, télévision, théâtre et musique). La première date de 1958 et célèbre l'actrice Joanne Woodward. sachez toutefois que chaque heureux lauréat a dû s'acquitter d'une somme de 75.000 dollars pour voir son nom gravé sur les trottoirs d'Hollywood."

"Muhammad Ali, the legendary American boxer and three-time World Heavyweight Champion, was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to live performance and public appearances. Unlike most stars embedded in the sidewalk, ALI REQUESTED THAT HIS STAR BE PLACED ON THE WALL of the Kodak Theatre to avoid being walked on, making it unique among Walk of Fame stars."

Fighting & salvation are in ways linked together for better or worse. This camera is a homage to the professional champion boxer George Foreman who made a 20-year comeback to regain the title he lost during his fight with Muhammed Ali. The trigger for this design also came indirectly from a Foreman anecdote. He used to intimidate and throw off opponents during the staredown routine before a match by looking not into his opponent's eyes but at his head, picking out his spots to aim for. I thought George should at least know the anatomical parts of the human skull, then the idea came to me of the Linhof Super Technika V, a world-class luxury camera that was once used for medical illustration. This camera encourages boxers (and street photographers of all levels) to manage and promote themselves. This is a greatly needed social change. With the premise laid out, here are all my customizations: a male human head full-color anatomy chart is fixed to the back and labelled with just numbers. The legend for the chart is in the Linhof multi-focus viewfinder. These latin medical terms will truly impress all and no one will dare look through the viewfinder after seeing this chart. Linhofs have limited color choices. This custom model is offered in a two-toned wood and a nostalgic 'rumble in the jungle' green. The camera has two tiny compartments. One houses a Linhof championship ring (actually I'm also offering a Ying digitized classic camera ring) with a diamond in its 'lens'. The other slightly larger compartment can hold a full-sized Dove chocolate bar, to be hidden away from pesky trainers and draconian weight conscious managers. There's also pocket storage for serious religious tracts (Foreman is an ordained Baptist minister) to hand to young aspiring boxing fans. The Super Technika is perfectly sized for a champ; in his large hands it's practically a tiny Ricoh. Lastly, this camera design is one of three I'm introducing as a tool for negotiation. Miniature replicas of Foreman's WBA championship belts badges are proudly displayed in place of the traditional Linhof medallions on the front of the camera. The commemorative ring and badges aid in self-promotion, but the more subtle devices are the camera itself as the boxer takes a ceremonial photo of the opponent's agents and his indignant opponent during negotiations. Custom
engravings on the side of the camera list the sports records of the champ, as well as a relic fragment of the historic Foreman-Ali fight (a tiny piece of a boxing glove from George would suffice). All of these are talking points for a warm-up conversation. When the parties are distracted by this negotiating technique, the boxer simply takes out a pen and quietly scribbles a dollar figure he wants for his share of the fight on a calfskin paper note holder attached to the camera back. Who needs a boxing promoter after all that?
It should be noted that the Mosque of Muhammad Ali is not typical of such structures in Cairo. In its architecture, Muhammad Ali Pasha, viceroy and effectively king of Egypt, as well as the founder of Egypt's modern era, achieved a radical break with all traditional characteristics of Cairo architecture from the Mamluk to the late Ottoman period. This departure is emphasized by the choice of sites. Now, because it is the most visible of Islamic monuments in Cairo, Muhammad Ali's mosque became a symbol of the city, even though it is the least Egyptian of these monuments

The Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha or Alabaster Mosque is a mosque situated in the Citadel of Cairo in Egypt and commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848..Taken @Cairo, Egypt
Check out the ticket price! This looks great in Black and White, but seeing how this is an original, I wanted to show it exactly like it is first. Amazing!
Even the marble chosen for decoration is different from that of earlier mosques. In fact, the decorations, which were not finished until 1857, are at odds with the simplicity of the architectural structure itself. And yet, many tourists and Egyptians themselves, who are not especially trained in art or architecture, find the mosque decorations very beautiful. Its use of greens, golds and reds can be very appealing to many

The area where the Citadel is now located began it's life not as a great military base of operations, but as the "Dome of the Wind", a pavilion created in 810 by Hatim Ibn Hartama, who was then governor. Indeed this area was well known for its cool breeze. These early governors, not realizing its strategic importance, simply used the pavilion for its view of Cairo. Between 1176 and 1183, Salah ad-Din (Saladin to Westerners 1171-1193 AD), an Abbasid Ruler, fortified the area to protect it against attacks by the Crusaders, and since then, it has never been without a military garrison. Originally it served as both a fortress and a royal city..Taken @Cairo, Egypt

The walls and piers of the mosque are paneled with alabaster from Upper Egypt (Beni Suef), which is inappropriate for architecture as it deteriorates quickly. A gesture of baroque luxe, unless frequently cleaned, the stone also becomes terribly grimy

The Citadel became the centerpiece of these great fortifications, protecting the city from the heights of the rocky hills that overlooked it. Completed in 1183 AD, Saladin’s Citadel served as the seat of government in Egypt for 700 years until Khedive Ismail moved into Abdin Palace in newly constructed Downtown Cairo in the 1870’s..Taken @Cairo, Egypt
These were the words that rang out all over the world in 1964 when a young relatively unknown boxer, Cassius Marcellus Clay, (Muhammad Ali) of Louisville Kentucky was crowned Heavyweight Champion by beating Sonny Liston in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history........see images below!!
Of course this is not Ali, but it is a true likeness of him when he shook up the world. I was out early one morning in the French Quarter catching photos of the empty streets when I was approached by this fella who immediately began his Ali impersonation. He went through quite a routine to show me the likeness, it was good, and it was entertaining.....all the while I was clicking away.
I knew what was coming next , and I don't mind compensating street hustlers as long as it is my choice, especially if I can get a good pic or two, and I might have in this instance, but you know, I had left my wallet back at the hotel.....:-))))
"Do you notice these colored lights? They come from these big and high windows with stained glass in the walls. Do you see these small windows in the big dome, half domes, and the small domes? They are so nice. They give a beautiful effect, but you dont need to count them. If you asked me, I would tell you there are 136 windows. I see youre dazzled by these wonderful colored decorations in the walls and domes..Taken @Cairo, Egypt

Hurva (Ruin) Synagogue is located in Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem. The Synagogue called Hurva (Ruin) after the long period of its destruction.
the synagogue was first built in the early 18th century by a group of immigrants with Rabbi Judah he-Hasid Segal, but was destroyed by the Ottoman authorities due to non-payment of debts. During the 19th century building permitted by Egyptian ruler Muhammad Ali to reconstructing the synagogue, the building was designed by architect Assad Effendi that came to Jerusalem to renovate Al-Aqsa Mosque, The building was designed in Neo Byzantine architectural style and was comprised from four arches that supporting the dome that rises to 24 meters high and prominent in the skyline of Jerusalem, The Torah ark was particularly magnificent that build by Cantonists in Ukraine and brought especially from synagogue in Kherson, Ukraine.
In 1864 the synagogue was inaugurated and Rabbi Kook was chosen as president of the synagogue and carried there some of his most famous homilies.
In 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the Jordanian Legion blew the synagogue and the place remained destroyed until 2003 that decided to rebuild the synagogue and build it for a third time, the place accurately restored by architect Nahum Meltzer, and the front of the building incorporated the remains of the ruined building. The building was inaugurated in 2010.

בית כנסת החורבה הוא בית כנסת ברובע היהודי בירושלים. בית הכנסת מכונה החורבה על שם תקופת חורבנו הארוכה. נבנה לראשונה בתחילת המאה ה-18 על ידי קבוצת עולים עם רבי יהודה החסיד אך נחרב על ידי השלטונות העות׳מאנים בשל אי תשלום חובות.
במהלך המאה ה-19הושג רשיון בניה(פירמאן) משליט מצרים מוחמד עלי לבניה מחודשת של בית הכנסת, המבנה תוכנן על ידי האדריכל אסעד אפנדי שהגיע לירושלים לשם שיפוץ מסגדי הר הבית, המבנה תוכנן בסגנון נאו ביזנטי והיה מורכב מארבע קשתות שתמכו בכיפה שהתנשאה לגובה 24 מטר ובלטה בקו הרקיע של ירושלים, ארון הקודש היה היכל מפואר במיוחד שנבנה על ידי קנטוניסטים והובא מבית הכנסת בעיר חרסון שבאוקראינה. בשנת 1864 נחנך בית הכנסת והרב קוק נבחר לשמש כנשיא בית הכנסת ונשא את חלק מדרשותיו המפורסמות בבית כנסת זה, במלחמת העצמאות פוצץ הלגיון הירדני את בית הכנסת והמקום נשאר בחובנו.
בשנת 2003 הוחלט לשקם את בית הכנסת ולבנותו בשלישית, המקום שוחזר בצורה מדויקת על ידי האדריכל נחום מלצר, ובחזית המבנה שולבו שרידי בית הכנסת החרב. בית הכנסת נחנך בשנת 2010.
