Mashallah, I was deeply moved praying at this historic center of Islamic civilization. The atmosphere is so incredibly solemn and serene. You can see many student study circles (halaqah) taking place, including many students from Indonesia. It is the perfect place to calm your heart amidst the hustle and bustle of Cairo."

The tiles of the mosque are very shiny. Beautiful architecture. You have to wear a long skirt for this mosque, besides the headdress.

A beautiful mosque and one of the oldest universities in the World. Don’t miss it. Wear your clothing modestly otherwise they will give you clothing to wear before entering the mosque and these clothes are worn by everyone so better to take your own clothing.
