About This mosque was built by Ahmed Ibn Tulun in 879 (265 H).

Ahmed Ibn Tulun was sent to govern Cairo by the Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad.

The mosque was built over a period of three years of mudbrick. It was the third congregational mosque to be built in what is now greater Cairo.

It is the third largest mosque in the world and it is the oldest mosque in Egypt that has survived in a fairly original form.

What we see in the photo is the fountain, it is located in the middle of the sahn. It has windows on all sides, and over it is a gilt dome on marble columns, and round it there are also marble columns with a marble pavement. Under the dome there is basin of marble...and on the roof there was a sun-dial.

I dedicate this photo to my UF friend Ehab Magdy who is a great photographer: http://www.usefilm.com/photographer/60897.html

This is an awesome sight! The mosque silhouetted against the colorful sky is sharp. I like the gleam of light from those windows.
