Alabaster Mosque
In the courtyard is floored in marble and surrounded by arches. In the center is an ornate ablutions fountain (Muslims must ritually wash before prayers) and the stupendously ugly clock tower. The clock was given to Egypt by the French as a trade for the obelisk that stans in teh Place d'Concorde. The clock has never worked.
