citadel -- A detail of the dome. At this time, most of the domes were wooden, and covered with either tile or metal. In this case tin. At this time, egypt had lost its independence. The governers were sent from Turkey. They knew they were only going to be in Egypt for 2 years, so why spend the money for a stone(expensive) or brick(less expensive than stone,more expensive than wood) dome?
