Not sure what Cairo Tower has to do with the mosque, so I took out the link to it. If someone else knows of a connection and puts it back in, please clarify why it's relevant to the mosque.Andicat 20:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The entry on Ahmad ibn Tulun has a lot of good info on this mosque - perhaps someone could move it into here. Kisch

Confused by the statement: "Ibn Tulun Mosque features ancient architecture styles of Egypt, its decorations being created from carved stucco and wood" as neither the source cited or other sources confirm this. Indeed, the cited source indicates that the mosque DOES NOT use traditional ancient Egyptian architectural features -- specifically calling out the use of carved stucco (along with the use of bricks, piers, etc.) as UNLIKE previous Egyptian architecture. New to this, so hesitant to just remove it. --Traveler203 (talk) 19:50, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Images

FYI, there are several good images of this Mosque, at the French Wikipedia page. It would be helpful if someone could transfer them over to the Commons, and then they'd be usable here too. :) --El on ka 02:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sabil?

The article refers to "a distinctive sabil with a high drum dome". Sabil is linked, but only to a disambig. page that points to two Sabils, both of which are placenames. What, then, is the sabil mentioned in the article?AdeMiami (talk) 12:42, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
