Mosque of al-Fakahani, Fatimid mosque in Muizz Street, Cairo, Egypt
The mosque features a raised structure built above street-level shops, making it one of the suspended mosques in Cairo's historic district.
The Fatimid Caliph Al-Zafir constructed the original mosque in 1148, while Mamluk Prince Yashbak bin Mahdi renovated it during the 15th century.
The mosque functions as a teaching center where scholars provide Quran lessons and religious education to students from the neighborhood.
The entrance to the mosque requires climbing stairs due to its elevated position above the commercial establishments at ground level.
The mosque retains its original wooden door panels from the 12th century, representing the last remaining elements from its initial construction period.
