IMAGE INFO
- Photographer's viewpoint is looking south-south-east from El-Gaish Road.
-A Mar 2022 image from Google Street View shows the Italianate style buildings behind the statue were still there [but sadly in a very delapidated state: maps.app.goo.gl/mTTaEaPYAsc4GEUA9]. In May 2025, the two Omar Effendi owned buildings were de-listed from the heritage register, so their future is now uncertain.
