Pemandangan dari Masjid Ibnu Tulun di Kairo, Mesir, Minggu (12/6/2022) waktu setempat. Masjid Ibnu Tulun menjadi salah satu masjid tertua di Kota Kairo setelah Masjid Amr Ibn 'Ash. Karenanya, tak mengherankan jika Masjid Ibnu Tulun dianggap sebagai situs kuno yang harus dilindungi Pemerintah Mesir. Β

Masjid ini didirikan pada 879 M oleh Gubernur Mesir saat itu, Ahmad Ibnu Tulun. Jika dibandingkan dengan Masjid Amr Ibn 'Ash yang merupakan masjid pertama di Mesir sekaligus di Benua Afrika, Masjid Ibnu Tulun terlihat lebih tua, mungkin karena restorasi yang dilakukan di masjid ini berusaha mempertahankan keaslian dari bangunan awalnya.Β  Β

Bangunan masjid ini sudah mengalami beberapa kali perbaikan. Perbaikan pertama dilakukan tahun 1177, saat itu negeri Mesir berada di bawah kekuasaan Badr al-Jamali, seorang gubernur yang ditunjuk oleh penguasa Daulah Fatimiyah. Β
