One of Egypt's oldest and largest mosques, it is also one of the most unusual owing to its heavy Iraqi influence. Constructed in the late 9th century AD on the orders of a rebellious Abbasid governor, its landmark helical minaret is believed to have been inspired by the giant minaret at Samarra. Be sure to climb to the top of the minaret for an awe-inspiring view of modern and ancient Cairo.
