Muhammad Ali Pasha Mosque.. the crown of Egyptian mosques

The Egyptian capital, Cairo, is known as the “City of a Thousand Minarets” because it contains many historical mosques in Egypt. The Mosque of Muhammad Ali stands out for its location at the top of Mount Mokattam, between the walls of Saladin Citadel, as if it overlooks the streets of historic Cairo.

Muhammad Ali Mosque derives its status as the most beautiful and famous mosque in Egypt not only from its strategic location, but also from its two towering minarets, which are the highest in Egypt, each reaching a height of 84 meters.
