The minaret is 36 m (118 ft) high, was built in 1190–1232 AD (586–630 AH) by the Turcoman prince of Erbil, in the reign of Saladin, Muzaffar Al-Din Abu Sa’eed Al-Kawkaboori (Gökböri) who had entered in the obedience of Saladin without war and married his sister.[1] The minaret is composed of a high octagonal base and a tall cylindrical shaft, with a balcony located between the base and the shaft. It is built of baked bricks, the base being decorated with two tiers of niches with pointed arches, two on each of the eight faces that are inscribed in rectangular frames. The balcony parapet is carved with twenty-four small niches, the access door to the minaret steps is on the eastern side of the octagonal base and leads top to the balcony. From there a small door gives access to steps inside the cylindrical shaft that led to the second balcony now collapsed. The shaft tapers inward and is decorated with several bands of interlocking diagonal Hazar-Baf motifs that are separated with thin bands. Examples of Kufi calligraphy can be seen, showing the names of Muhammad and Mas'oudi Muhammadi, the builders of the Minaret.

The Al-Mudhafaria Minaret, situated in Erbil, Iraq, is a remarkable architectural relic erected during the 12th century. This historic structure forms an integral part of the Mudhafaria complex, alongside a mosque and a madrasa, showcasing the city's rich cultural heritage. Constructed around the year 1190, the minaret stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of its era. Its design intricacies, characterized by elaborate brickwork and decorative motifs, serve as a testament to the craftsmanship of the artisans of that time. Despite enduring centuries of wear and the ravages of conflicts, the Al-Mudhafaria Minaret remains a poignant symbol of Erbil's enduring legacy, captivating visitors with its historical significance and architectural splendor.

I couldn’t understand why the small park of the Minarat was closed during the day!!! All the doors were closed and no sign what’s the operation hours, this is the reason why I rated it 4, however you can still take pictures of the Minarat from outside.
