Sultanahmet Camii, from the courtyard

            The Ottoman architecture and layout found in Istanbul and all around Turkey is vastly different than the Cairene mosques popularized during the Fatimid empire -- Ottoman mosques are based off of church layouts and never ever have courtyards in the center of the mosque, they are separated instead.
