This image depicts the interior of the Al-Rifa'i Mosque, located in Cairo, Egypt. The scene is a wide-angle view of the mosque's large prayer hall, characterized by its imposing architectural features and patterned carpet. The hall features a high ceiling constructed with light-colored wooden beams arranged in a patterned vault, supported by a network of dark wooden crossbeams. Numerous grand, fluted white marble columns with gold-banded capitals rise from the floor, supporting light-colored stone arches that span the width of the hall. The entire visible floor is covered by an ornate, predominantly dark blue carpet featuring intricate white and light-gray floral and geometric motifs. Overhead, multiple chandeliers and simpler hanging lamps, some with gold-colored frames, illuminate the space. In the distant background, an ornate structure, likely the mihrab (prayer niche), is visible with a green and gold frame, alongside other wall decorations. Approximately fifteen individuals are present within the hall. In the left foreground, a male subject wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt and dark trousers walks barefoot from left to right across the carpet. In the mid-ground and background, various individuals and small groups are dispersed. A cluster of five to seven individuals, dressed in dark outerwear, stands near the mihrab area on the left, observing the surroundings. Elsewhere, several other individuals are seated directly on the carpet, some appearing to be in contemplation or prayer, while others stand near the columns. A plain cardboard box rests at the base of the leftmost column in the foreground.
