An enlightening sit-down interview with Dr. Bernard O’Kane, a distinguished professor of Islamic art and architecture at the American University in Cairo (AUC). I was so honored to reconnect with Dr. O’Kane, who is not only an expert on this topic, but also a former professor of mine when I was a student at AUC more than 20 years ago. In his characteristic easy-going style, Dr. O’Kane talks about the most spectacular mosques throughout Egypt as well as other impressive examples of Islamic fortresses, Ottoman palaces, and medieval mausoleum, as well as must-see museums in Cairo for connoisseurs of Islamic art.
