Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah is the second largest mosque after Ibn Tulum Mosque. “The construction of the mosque was begun by al-Hakim’s father, the Fatimid Caliph al-Aziz bi Allah in 380 AH/990 AD, but he died before its completion, leaving his son to finish it in 403 AH/1013 AD,” said the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
