Muezzin sound clash, Al Azhar and Ibn Tulun mosques (?) Islamic Cairo Egypt, Friday prayers

I didn't get to go inside the mosque (not sure you can go into this one anyway, I think it's the world's oldest university and mosque Al Azhar vs nearby Ibn Tulun I think, but I did go into Al Hakim mosque later) as the Friday prayers were on, but here's the muezzin call to prayer...it's an amazing sound, and the fact that they seem to play off or harmonise with each other, sound clash style makes for a wall of sound around this time....even in Luxor at Karnak you could hear in the distance, transmitted by radio and towers making for a strange exotic sound during the midday prayers.

Interesting was the guy filming the tower for TV I think...I wonder like the radio broadcasts there is a 'Muezzin TV'?
