About this asset
Al-Hakim Mosque (Gama' Al-Hakim Bi-Amr Allah) in Islamic Cairo displays a symmetrical arcade of large pointed arches with dark curtained openings, topped by a crenellated parapet with ornamental blind arches and geometric tile insets — hallmarks of Fatimid-era religious architecture in Egypt. Originally completed around 1013 CE under the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim Bi-Amr Allah, the mosque is among the oldest surviving congregational mosques in Cairo and remains an active place of worship. The image was captured in warm late-day light, emphasizing the pale limestone masonry and the strong symmetry of the courtyard arcade facade.
