View of the inner court of the Ibn Tulun mosque from its minaret. This is probably the oldest mosque in the city of Cairo, and it was built in the IX century. When one enters, an extreme sense of peace and quiet surrounds you among a simple but exquisite architecture. One can definitely feel the sacred there, and the figure of a sole man in the courtyard even enhances the grandeur of this historical place.

Born in Barcelona in 1983. While doing a degree in History, specialized in Egyptology, she discovered her passion for photography and studied photography and professional lighting. She combined both passions for a living, working as an archaeological photographer in Egypt, with national and international archaeological projects in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan since 2006, and photographing daily life in Egypt during her working stays in the country. She has exhibited in Jaén and Alcalá de Henares, with the topics of the results of the Spanish archaeological projects she currently works with in Egypt.
