Vincent Poon :: Mosque of Ibn tulun
With a coverage of 2.5 hectares, Ibn Tulun is one of the largest and oldest mosques in the country. Built between AD 876 and 879, the most unique feature about this mosque is really on the spiral Iraqi-style minaret that allows visitors to climb atop to get a magnificent view of the Islamic Cairo. Truly breath-taking!
