El-Moez Street is one of Cairo’s most remarkable historic places, giving you a glimpse of old Cairo.
Walking along El-Moez Street, you will be fascinated by the historic atmosphere of the old cafés, souvenir shops, and food and sweets sold from kiosks and carts. You will also find Islamic art carved into the historic mosques and houses.
The second largest mosque in Cairo, it was started by the Al Aziz Billah, son of the famous Khalifa Al Moez Lideen Allah Al Fatimy in 990 and was completed by El Hakem bi-Amr Allah.
It gives us a great example of a congregational mosque that was typical of early Islamic architecture.
