Review & FAQ:
The Aqmar Mosque is one of the oldest buildings in Islamic Cairo. Located on Al-Muizz Street, the mosque is on the smaller side and was built by the Fatimids, who originated from present day Tunisia. The mosque has several architectural features that are unique, being one of the first mosques to use an offset façade that remained square to the street front. The rest of the building sits at an angle, aligning with the Qibla, which is the direction of prayer toward Mecca.
