The choice of the meeting place was at Ahmed Ibn Tulun Mosque, which is the oldest mosque in Egypt, had a profound and exciting dimension to the history, events and people who lived through this time around the year 960.

The writer started by recounting the history of this Era in time and shedding light on the style of architecture.

The mosque which has not been touched by the modification so far, left the audience a space of imagination to visualize and embody what the conditions were in this place covered with the fragrance of history.
