Fatimid mosque: new section
:You're right, I think only the first paragraph comes from Egeria. The rest is additional description from another source, probably the John Wilkinson book. I've added a link to the complete English text of Egeria's work. The aforementioned paragraph comes from section 8. [[User:Gabriela|Gabriela]] 22:58, September 28, 2006 (CDT)
 
== Fatimid mosque ==
 
The mosque was built originally to cater for the local berber community. However it was found that the mirab within was not pointing to Makkah, and it could not be used. They refused to destroy something that was intended for the purpose of worship, and it remains sealed.
