Minarete and Dome of Sheikh AIy El Rouby

This Islamic monument is located in Al Sufi Street, in the city of Fayoum. The Minaret and Dome of Sheikh Ali EI-Rouby (El Roubi) were built by the Mameluke Sultan Barqouq in 1488 AD- 893 AH in commemoration of the Muslim hermit Sheikh Ali El Rouby, who lived in El-Fayoum. The dome is built of mud brick and the Minaret imitates one of the Minarets of Al-Azhar Mosque (in Cairo). The mosque was restored by Emir Abdel Rahman Katkhuda in 1780 AD- 1120 AH.
