Dome from Ibn Tulun Mosque, Cairo

A very rapidly done scan of the dome in Ibn Tulun Mosque in Cairo. We had less than 15 minutes here on our trip last year. The interior ceiling of Ibn Tulun mosque is composed of sycamore wood. The Mosque of Ibn Tulun (Arabic: مسجد إبن طولون‎, romanized: Masjid Ibn Ṭūlūn) is located in Cairo, Egypt. It is the oldest mosque in the city surviving in its original form, and is the largest mosque in Cairo in terms of land area. Since Ibn Tulun is an open space, it brings in a lot of sun and shadows. It is built around an open square courtyard which allows natural light to travel through. Ibn tulun mosque features Samarra style- its decorations being created from carved stucco and wood. This mosque is a popular tourist attraction. - wikipedia
