The Al-Azhar Mosque, built between 359 and 361 AH (970 and 972 CE), is Egypt's most important and well-known mosque. For over a thousand years, it has served as both a mosque and a university. When Egypt was taken by Jawhar al-Siqilli, the army chief of Al-Muizz li-Din Allah, the first Fatimid Caliph in Egypt, it was founded with the goal of promoting the Shiite Doctrine. However, the mosque's teachings shifted to Sunni doctrine during the Ayyubid era. After the city of Cairo was founded, Jawhar al-Siqilli began construction on the Al-Azhar Mosque, which he finished. On the 7th Ramadan 361 AH /972 CE, it hosted the first Friday Prayer. As a result, it is the earliest mosque built in Cairo and the oldest Fatimid monument still standing.

Founded in AD 970 as the centrepiece of the newly created Fatimid city, Al Azhar is one of Cairo’s earlier mosques, and its sheikh is considered the highest theological authority for Egyptian Muslims. The building is a harmonious blend of architectural styles, the result of numerous enlargements over more than 1000 years. The tomb chamber, located through a doorway on the left just inside the entrance, has a beautiful mihrab (a niche indicating the direction of Mecca) and should not be missed.
