Al-Hakim Mosque

The Al-Hakim Mosque stands at the northern end of Al-Muizz Street, beside the Bab al-Futuh gate of the Fatimid city wall. Begun by Caliph al-Aziz in 990 and completed by his son al-Hakim in 1013, it has a large marble courtyard and two minarets encased in square bastions. A 1980 restoration by the Dawoodi Bohras returned it to use as a working mosque.
