Historic Mosques in Cairo, Egypt

Three mosques were visited: the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, Al-Rifa’i Mosque, and Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan.

These three mosques are located near each other.

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali is inside the Citadel Saladin, also a historic landmark.  I only visited the mosque in the citadel in detail but not the citadel itself.

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali

There are the mosques on the right-hand side down there.  They are the mosques that I will visit later.

Far away, you can see the Giza Pyramids.

Back to the mosque

The visitor entrance is back of the mosque, so I walked around the mosque.

I got out of the mosque and looked at the front side of the mosque.

Then I left the citadel

After another short Uber ride, I arrived where two mosques, Al-Fira’i Mosque and Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, are side by side.

The one on the right side is the Al-Fira’i Mosque, which I visited first.

Walked to the Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan.
