Al - Hussain Mosque




Al-Hussain Mosque, Cairo. It is situated right in the center of ancient Khan Bazaar dated back to 1154. 

It is believed that head of Imam Hussain A.S. was brought here after the martyrdom but returned by Fatamid Caliphs. Much later, it was found out that Fatamid Caliphs are also buried here. Government has closed down the museum which has a large range of Relics of Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H and Bibi Fatima Zehra A.S. 

Also, the oldest complete manuscript of Quran is present at this site.
