[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Spiral Stairs represent the way of linking Earth to Heaven as it was made spiral.

This minaret based on the square base, communicates with the mosque by way of a passage.
Its second story is cylindrical which is in tern surmounted by later Mumluk restorations in stone. The original minaret was built of brick.
