• Mosque of Muhammad Ali - Visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, considered one of the most beautiful mosques in Cairo. It is also known as the Alabaster Mosque because its outer walls are covered with alabaster stone.
• Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - Followed by a visit to one of the largest mosques in Cairo, the Sultan Hassan Mosque, also known as Madrasa El Sultan Hassan, founded by Sultan Hassan in 1356 A.D. The Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan is a massive Mamluk-era mosque and madrassa located near the Citadel in Cairo. Its construction began in 757 AH/1356 CE and was completed three years later “without even a single day of idleness”. At the time of its construction, the mosque was remarkable for its size and innovative architectural components. Commissioned by a sultan of a short and relatively unimpressive profile, al-Maqrizi noted that the mosque contained several “wonders of construction”. The mosque was designed to include schools for all four Sunni schools of thought: Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali.
• Al-Azhar Mosque - Drive to Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the mosque of the most resplendent. It is a mosque in Islamic Cairo, Egypt. Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate commissioned its construction for the newly established capital city in 970. Its name is usually thought to allude to the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam who was given the title az-Zahrā, the shining or resplendent one. It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city that has since gained the nickname “the City of a Thousand Minarets”.
• Al Rifai Mosque - Followed by a visit to another famous mosque, Al-Rifa’i Mosque. The building is located opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which dates from around 1361, and was architecturally conceived as a complement to the older structure. This was part of a vast campaign by the 19th-century rulers of Egypt to both associate themselves with the perceived glory of earlier periods in Egypt’s Islamic history and modernize the city.
• Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - End your day tour with a visit to El Hussein Mosque in Cairo, a hallowed mosque believed to be the burial site of the head of the prophet Muhammad’s grandson.
