About Amr Ibn Al'As Mosque is the first mosque to be built in Egypt and Africa, it was constructed by Amr Ibn Al-As in 642 AD north of the site of the Roman fortress of Babylon in Old Cairo.

Legend has it that when Amr departed the Babylon area to lay siege to Alexandria, he left his tent standing in the tent camp next to Babylon. Upon his return, the tent was still standing and a dove had built a nest in it. So it was here that Amr built his Mosque, and around the Mosque, Fustat or al-Fustat al-Misr (the Camp of Egypt), the City of the Tents and the original Muslim capital of Egypt grew up from his original tent encampment.

During Amr Ibn el-As rule, Friday prayers were not performed except in his mosque. It was an Islamic learning center long before El-Azhar Mosque, it could hold up to 5,000 students. It was the place where lesson circles and religious lectures were held. One of the most important Religious professors and Imams who taught in this mosque, was the Mohamed Ibn Idris Al Shafi? and one of the most remarkable facts about that mosque is that it served as a court for settling religious and civil disputes.

The threatening sky makes this image extremely dramatic ~ the grey of the mosque suits very well together with the colours of the sky. Interesting architectural shot, and the humans add a nice dimension to this shot, making the composition very good.
