But wasn’t Amr Ibn Al As completely rebuilt? You are, of course, right that it does predate it, but I think the current building is the oldest building that has been operating continuously.

And, oh god, yes, plenty of space for frustrated rage in Egypt at the moment. We’re no longer there but still trying to work out what is going on with the generals and the Brotherhood.

Oh and there’s lots of different kinds of frustrated rage in Egypt at the moment, not only the male kind 😉
