A good road leads from Cairo to the Tombs. They are in a more ruinous state than the Tombs of the Caliphs, and are perhaps less interesting. The most conspicuous is the large dome of the Tomb of the Imam esh-Shafih, who died A.D. 820. The walls of the interior have a high dado of marble, and the tomb is covered with gold-embroidered brocade. WORLD'S RAPHAEL ART TUCK & SERVICE SONS POSTALE RS The World's Art Service TRADE MARK
