In The Preliminary School

Mehmet stayed a period of 5 years in Refaa Al-Tahtawi Preliminary School which he considers not to be the happiest period of his life. He ascertains that "he didn't love to go to kindergarten or school" because he actually " didn't find the environment he ever dreamed of." Mehmet was not that excellent student at school. Because he hated this environment he couldn't cope up with it and thus couldn't do a much big business. Mehmet had also some educative problems that was attributed to his being not interested in his school not because of some mental illness. He tends to be alone always and have a few intimate friends. He said with humor "I think I had some kind of autism once a day but I could never know that until I had it in my psychiatric lessons. However, people with autistic disorder suffer a little bit of mental problems that I have never got.". In this period specifically, Kaphoury was almost exclusively fond of drawing. He has been well known for his beautiful and amazing works for an age he was. He was also fond of Islamic architecture especially mosques. The first mosque he drew was Muhammad Ali's Mosque (the Citadel mosque) which he depicted from a 20 Egyptian pounds paper.
