White and grey domestic pigeons perch and take flight from a rooftop pigeon coop (Giyya) in Historic Cairo, with the minarets and domes of Sultan Hassan Mosque and Al-Rifa'i Mosque clearly visible in the background. The scene captures a common Cairo rooftop tradition of pigeon keeping (Tarbiyit El Hamam), practiced across the city's older neighborhoods. Sultan Hassan Mosque, built between 1356 and 1363 CE during the Mamluk period, is considered one of the greatest examples of Islamic architecture in the world.
