		To the north of this is a relatively new (1870) Mosque of Sayyidna al-Hussein (71).
		Across the street is the Ahmed Pasha Sabil (73), while to the south of the Al-Hussein mosque is the new al-Azhar Park, a mega project that has transformed the surrounding neighborhoods as well as adding needed greenery to the City.
		The southern one is the Mosque of al-Ashraf Barsbey (circa 1425 AD) (also known as the Ashrafiya Medersa) (72), which is a complex consisting of a mosque-medersa, a mausoleum and sabil-kuttab, while the northern one is the Mosque of al-Mutahhar (73) (circa 1744 AD) built by Abd el-Rahman Katkhuda.

	Al Hakim Mosque, Egypt
		This, the second Fatimids mosque in Cairo, was situated outside the old walls of the city, until Badr Al-Gamali brought it within by constructing the north wall (extending from Bab AL-Nasir to Bab Al-Futuh), in contact with its northern façade.

		Brick was used in both mosques, except that the outer walls of al- Hakim's are built of partly dressed stone (talatat).

		And the mosque did become the centrepiece of the quarter, so much so that the area is now referred to as "Al-Dahir," a corruption of Al-Zahir's name.
		Indeed, the eclectic history of the Baybars mosque -- similar to other mosques, like Al-Hakim's for instance -- emphasises that the idea of mosque as museum -- as well as the idea of "museum" in the first place -- is a very modern one.
		Whatever the reasons may be, the mosque of Baybars became an army store house where supplies such as tents and saddles were kept during the Ottoman period.

		Many of the remaining parts of the mosque still retain much of their original character, sections of the prayer hall with their piers and arches, for example, as well as the mihrab dome survived almost intact.

		Devoid of any surface decoration, it is modeled on the minaret of the great mosque of Samarra, Mesopotamia (Iraq) where Ibn Tulun was born, and features an outer spiral staircase instead of the usual inner one.
		Other splendid examples of Cairo's minarets are the two soaring towers on the Muayyad mosque near medieval Cairo's massive entrance gate of Bab Zuwaila, the southern boundary of the original Fatimid city walls and once the ceremonial entrance for sultans coming down from their 12th-century fortresses on the Mokhattam hills.
		Like Ibn Tulun's ninth-century mosque, al-Hakim's is built of brick, but its two enormous minarets are built of stone, some of the blocks bearing pharaonic inscriptions from an earlier structure.

		The second early Fatimid mosque in Cairo, the mosque of al-Hakim, redone and inaugurated by that caliph in 1013, was begun by his father in 990.
		The mosque of al-Hakim was a large and slightly irregular rectangle (121 by 131 metres) [298, 299].
		There is, for instance, the very curious case of the Qarafa Mosque, sponsored by two noble women in 976 in the southern cemetery of Cairo; it shows that, quite early in Fatimid times, the place of the dead became a site for the expression of piety by another patronage than that of rulers.
