Al-Basatin

Cairo

The first mosque on the African continent! The Mosque of sahaba Amr ibn al-As was originally built in 641–642 AD, as the center of the newly founded capital of Egypt, Fustat. The original structure was the first mosque ever built in Egypt & Africa. The location for the mosque was the site of the tent of the commander of the conquering army, sahaba Amr ibn al-As. One corner of the mosque contains the tomb of his son, 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As. The mosque is a prominent landmark, and can be seen in what today is known as "Old Cairo". It is an active mosque with a devout congregation, and when prayers are not taking place, it is also open to visitors and tourists.
