| | Ibrahim Pasha |
 | | Ibrahim was perhaps 19th century Egypt's finest generals, fighting successfully in Arabia, Sudan, Greece, (modern) Turkey, Syria and Palestine. |
 | | During his years as ruler of Syria, he created a consultative council of notables and suppressed the feudal regime, but used harsh means to drive his reforms through. |
 | | According to English officers who saw him in 1828 Ibrahim was short, fat and scarred by smallpox, quite the opposite of the statue of him in Cairo (see photo). |
