Another for #ramadan2017 : Al-Hakim mosque (Cairo, 990-1013 AD) After that, the Caliphs al-Aziz and his son al-Hakim built a mosque (990-1013 AD). This mosque follows generally the same pattern as earlier mosques, with a big courtyard and a prayer hall with pointed arches. Three small domes emphasize which side the prayer hall is on. On the opposite side, there's a big entrance gate. #mosque #cairo #fatimids #fatimidarchitecture #islamicegypt #islam #islamicarchitecture
