Al-Aqmar Mosque
On al-Muizz Street, al-Aqmar Mosque has an early carved stone facade aligned with the street. Its compact size makes detail the reward.
Why go
The exterior shows how a religious building could address the street even while the prayer space kept its own orientation. Carving and inscriptions are the main features to examine before entering the small courtyard. Pause here during an al-Muizz walk to study the carved frontage at close range.
