"Une des plus anciennes mosquée du Caire (988) et une des plus grande université du Monde Musulman."

"UNESCO World Heritage In 969, Egypt was conquered by the Fatimid rulers of Tunisia. The Fatimid were Shia Muslims who claimed descent from the prophet Muhammad through his daughter Fatima. In their purloined territory, they built a new settlement, protected behind walls, to the north of the Egyptian capital. It was named Al-Qahirah (the Subduer), which is the origin of the name Cairo. Within the settlement were luxurious palaces, barracks for troops, and lush gardens, as well as the new Al-Azhar (the Resplendent) mosque. The Fatimid ruler Al-Moizz had a library of 120,000 volumes, the largest in the entire medieval world, and he made the mosque the center of what is said to be the world's oldest surviving university (although this is challenged by the University of Fez in Morocco). It became the Muslim world's most famous seat of learning. Ironically, it later became a bastion of conservative Sunni orthodoxy under the rulers who followed the Fatimid dynasty. The mosque has been rebuilt many times, with minarets, mausoleums, and schools added. When Napoleon invaded Egypt in 1798, the Al-Azhar clerics proclaimed holy war against him, leading to riots in the streets of Cairo. The French responded in kind by shelling the city for several hours, concentrating their fire on the mosque before charging into it on horseback, to the horror of the Muslim sheikhs, and sacking it — at which point resistance ceased. Standing opposite is the revered mosque of Sayyidna al-Husayn. The prophet's grandson Husayn was murdered in 680 and according to legend his severed head was brought to Cairo in 1153 and buried there, to keep it safe from the Christian crusaders. Built on the site between 1864 and 1873 by the Khedive Ismail, the mosque is visited by millions of pilgrims every year."
