An amazing visit, the mosque is so broadly spaced and beautifully open to the sky. The climb of the minaret totally thrilled the boys and the care takers were very sweet. We also visited the neighboring house, known as the Gayer Anderson museum, which was another amazing experience that takes you back in history like a time machine.

A huge, delicately constructed, calm and peaceful mosque. We were lucky to have it all for ourselves as we explored the columns, arches, and hanging lamps. Plenty of patterns to be explored because of the several layers of arches throughout the square shape.

One of the ancient mosques of Cairo, home to a beautiful square minaret which you can climb and gain access to the first floor (overlooking the courtyard) and also right to the top of the minaret via stone steps. The mosque itself is wonderful and the stone architecture is stunning. It is open during the day and tourists should expect to pay 15-20 Egyptian pounds to one of the men seated inside, they will give you some shoe covers and you are then free to walk around as you please. Check out the massive noticeboards with information on the history of the mosque and the extensive refurbishment work.

The Ibn Tulun Mosque :This mosque is one of Egypt’s oldest, as well as a popular tourist attraction. It is considered as oldest mosque of Cairo city surviving in it’s original form & dates back as early as 876 AD. This mosque reflects the characteristic features of Abbasid art within the realm of architecture. The 40 meter high minaret of the mosque with spiral staircase is a famous Cairo landmark & unique in it’s design resembling the famous Samarra mosque of Iraq on the Tigris. The main prayer hall holds onto fragments of it’s older decoration of carved stucco & wood & the mihrab has remnants of it’s original gold mosaic decoration. Spend some time to sooth your eyes with beauty of those ancient but rich architecture.

A place of peace and quiet, it's big enough to isolate the noise of the streets for the prayers, climbing the minaret was very exciting and it is windy up there, the hole place is nice. You feel like you went back in time during the silk road theme.

The good thing is that no extreme modifications done on the building for a long time. It feels ancient

One of the oldest mosques in the world. Not maintained well. Almost empty and full of dust. Nothing particular to see other than the building. There is an unnecessary practice of putting a cloth cover over your shoes. It's just a measure to extract baksheesh from you. And they are never satisfied, so the best way is not to pay at all.

One of the most beautiful mosque you will visit. Still standing strong in it's original architecture. Still wondering how such detailed work was done in that age of time.

مسجد ابن طولون من اقدم واعرق المساجد في مصر امر ببناؤه احمد ابن طولون منذ اكثر من 1200 سنة ليصبح ثالث مسجد جامع بعد جامع عمرو بن العاص وجامع العسكر ... مسجد احمد بن طولون لازال علي حالته الاصلية بشكل كبير ولم تتوالي عليه الاصلاحات كما هو الحال في مسجد عمرو بن العاص .... مسجد ابن طولون بني علي ربوة صخرية ويعتبر من المساجد المعلقة... بني علي شكل مربع مستلهما من طراز المساجد العباسية.. مكان جميل جدا وروحاني انصح بزيارته والصلاه فيه
