Its construction began 757 AH/1356 CE with work ending three years later "without even a single day of idleness". At the time of construction the mosque was considered remarkable for its fantastic size and innovative architectural components. Commissioned by an-Nasir Hasan, a sultan of a short and relatively unimpressive profile, al-Maqrizi noted that within the mosque were several "wonders of construction".The mosque was, for example, designed to include schools for all four of the Sunni schools of thought: Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanafi and Hanbali.
Then Continue your Cairo Layover Tours to VisitEl Rafaai Mosquenamed in English the Royal Mosque, is located in Cairo, Egypt, in Midan al-Qal'a, adjacent to the Cairo Citadel. The building is located opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which dates from around 1361, and was architecturally conceived as a complement to the older structure. This was part of a vast campaign by the 19th century rulers of Egypt to both associate themselves with the perceived glory of earlier periods in Egypt's Islamic history and modernize the city. The mosque was constructed next to two large public squares and off of several European style boulevards constructed around the same time.
Then Continue your Cairo Layover Tours to VisitIbn Tulun mosqueis located in Cairo, Egypt. It is arguably the oldest mosque in the city surviving in its original form, and is the largest mosque in Cairo in terms of land area.The mosque was commissioned by Ahmad ibn ln, the Turkic Abbassid governor of Egypt from 868884 whose rule was characterized by de facto independence. The historian al-Maqrizi lists the mosque's construction start date as 876 AD, and the mosque's original inscription slab identifies the date of completion as 265 AH, or 879 AD.The mosque was constructed on a small hill called Gebel Yashkur, "The Hill of Thanksgiving." One local legend says that it is here that Noah's Ark came to rest after the Deluge, instead of at Mount Ararat.
Then Continue your Cairo Layover Tours to VisitAlazhar Mosqueis a mosque in Islamic Cairo in Egypt. Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate commissioned its construction for the newly established capital city in 970.

Traveler Reviews

Our tour guide, Mira, was excellent and helped us to make the most of our one day tour. She was very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and spoke excellent English so was able to describe the history and answer any questions we had. She helped us to make the most of our limited time at the museum by showing us the masterpieces and prioritising the important sections . We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with her and the personal touch of having such an interesting and enthusiastic guide. We would certainly recommend her to anyone visiting Cairo.
