    for some reason, this comment thing cut me off; oh well. Here's a good book recently published that talks about the medieval necropolis:

    Thanks for the comment! When I was there, The Necropolis, a stone's throw from the Citadel, has hundreds of squatters living in it; most of them Sudanese refugees at the time.

    I used to live in Cairo and attended Friday prayer services at the Mohammed Ali Mosque inside the Salah el Din (Saladin) Citadel. Funny how I never saw any homeless people living among graves near there. (I did see a lot of con artists pretending to have severe diseases and begging for money from the tourists, though.)
