Mosque of Muhammad Ali, Cairo

Beautiful architecture, shows the dedication of the people of the time and influence throughout the Islamic world. It's a timeless place with so much history that you can feel in the vibrations of the stone walls. You could spend hours there and not notice the time pass.

Pretty mosque worth a visit... The complex (citadel) has also a great view to the city, where you can even see the pyramids on the horizon above all the Cairo buildings. This view is probably comparable to the daytime view you will have from the Cairo Tower, and at a.more affordable price.

A truly must see! Such a huge and beautiful place made of Alabaster. There's also a view on the terrace all over Cairo city where also you can see the pyramids on the background. Outside the monument It's very exposed to the sun so just be prepared.

The majestic mosque dominates the skyline, and from the mosque you have incredible views over the city. At first I was taken aback when I saw the beautiful carpets were gone, however the marble floors reflect the chandeliers perfectly.

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha (also known as the Alabaster Mosque) is beautiful. The best place to compare it to would be the Aya Sofia in Istanbul. Similarly, this mosque often has renovations happening, but that’s something to expect at many similar locations. The architecture is stunning, with a meticulous level of detail (you really have to see it up close to believe it.) 5/5 Stars
