We made a brief but thorough scan of the dome in Cairo's Ibn Tulun Mosque, where we spent only about 15 minutes last year on our trip. The interior ceiling of Ibn Tulun mosque is constructed from sycamore wood. The Mosque of Ibn Tulun (Masjid Ibn Ṭūlūn) is situated in Cairo, Egypt. It's the oldest mosque in the city that still exists in its original form and is also the largest mosque in Cairo by land area. Because Ibn Tulun is an open space, it receives a lot of sunlight and shadows. The mosque is built around a square courtyard with no walls, allowing natural light to pass through. Ibn tulun mosque features Samarra style, with decorations made from carved stucco and wood. This mosque is a well-known tourist destination.
