General view of a group of domed tombs: 'This view is taken from a little to the north of the group of tombs around the Mosque of Káitbéy, and comprehends the chief buildings in the second group of sepulchral mosques in the great Eastern Cemetery of Cairo. The cemetery extends, from the northern foot of the rock on which stands the Citadel, far beyond the extreme north of the city; some of the tombs being near the road to Heliopolis and the Pilgrims' Lake...The visitor reaches it by a gate in the middle of the east wall of Cairo, called Báb-el-Ghureiyib, wending his way between and over vast mounds of rubbish, the accumulation of eight centuries, until the beautiful but decayed edifices in this view appear on the plain before him...'
