A view from Moqattam Hills that shows the two mosques. One is called Jame-Al-Lulua. Recently renovated. If you look closely you can see people coming in for Friday afternoon prayers. This view is from Juyushi at Moqattam Hills. Lulua was made as a seclusion and reflection point by Fatemid Imam Hakim Bi-Amrillah. It is said he came here during the knights for prayers and meditation. In the background is anohter mosque ruin built during the Saladin's era. The surrounding area shows the Cairo Graveyard.
