Mosque of Ibn Tulun - Dokki (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Dated from 879 AD, this is one of the oldest mosques in Cairo.
The minaret features a helical outer staircase not often seen in Cairene architecture.
Within the mosque, try to find a place where you can not see any window. This is allegedly impossible, as a symmetrical floor plan was sacrificed for the visibility of outer light from any angle.
