Lulua Mosque

Cairo Governorate, Egypt · built 1015

The Lulua Mosque or al-Lu'lu'a Mosque (Masjid al-Lu'lu'a, lit. 'Mosque of the Pearl') is a mosque in the Muqattam Hills that surround Cairo, Egypt. Built during the reign of the third Fatimid caliph, al-Hakim, in the Fatimid architectural style, the mosque was completed in c. 1016 CE. Located in the Southern Cemetery in the Moqattam hills, the majority of the mosque collapsed in 1919, but was later refurbished in 1998 by the Dawoodi Bohras, who trace their religious lineage to the Fatimid Caliphate's Shia Islam.
