Cultural influences this building represents are

A. Arabian and Egyptian

Step-by-step explanation:

The building we see here in Timbuktu has been a center of Arabic culture and its dissimulation in Timbuktu since its construction.

it is a rather usual aesthetic mix of architecture in this region that lends itself to such construction.

While the traditional pyramidal constructions of the Egyptians certainly lay down there influence here but there is also an undercurrent of the Islamic influence with the low rise softer domes on the side and the entrance of the arched hallways in the mosque.
