Mosque of Muhammad Ali

Very lovely mosque located on top of the hill. There are several parks nearby where you can take a look at Cairo from above. Please note that this place closes at 5 PM.

Absolutely beautiful! And the history behind it is so well preserved.

The details either indoors or outdoors in the mosque is amazing. The colors, the chandeliers, the interior, everything is perfect

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.

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.

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 Muhammad Ali Mosque is situated in Cairo's Stronghold and is one of the city's most conspicuous milestones in Egypt spiritual tours. Worth visiting to enjoy it's magnificent architecture, both inside out.

a modern-day Muslim architecture that is significant in the Egyptian history; it is grand, is sophisticated and is complete. it saturated at the top of the hill and overlooks western part of Cairo; the sunset is beautiful too. we visited on a festival day that filled with local tourists. the interior is stunning, in all directions in all details, especially the ceiling and the rings of light that right above us. will be great if we had i) someone explains the details of the Muslim architecture, and ii) another 3 to 4 hours in the Mosque.

Very sacred place to be. I really felt like one when I was visiting this Mosque. I wish I can visit this place once a year.

It was incredibly quiet so we decided to stay there for about 45 minutes. I will definitely take the time to visit again and would recommend others to do the same.

It's beautiful place. The Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha or Alabaster Mosque is a mosque situated in the Citadel of Cairo in Egypt and was commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848. It is called the Alabaster Mosque or the Crown of all Mosques.
It has 2 Manarats, one big dome surrounded by four smaller domes. Very beautiful art work on the dome's walls. Beautiful white marble floors.

This mosque is located in Salahuddin Ayubi castle This mosque was built on the Ottoman style of architecture which was built by the Ottoman Governor Muhammad Ali Pasha.
I suggest you must visit here but try to go here in the morning because at 5 o'clock most of the historical places are closed in Cairo. There is also the army museum and Salahuddin Ayyubi's castle. coins

This site is one of the must places to visit in egypt cairo. Easier to buy tickets in advance. This place can host for private events here. Indue the mosque is not really prying area rather museum. There are couple of gift shops, local vendors.

Beautiful mosque that is still used for prayers. The gardens and white marbled areas outside the mosque are also quite stunning. Like all the other areas of the citidel, its not touristy and very quiet. A good place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Cairo.

The mosque itself is beautiful, but what’s even better is the place around it. It’s not just a historic mosque built by Muhammad Ali Pasha, but it’s also a place that Cairo citizens hold very dear because of its significance. The trek up can be a bit tough for some people, but I’d say it’s worth it. There is also a viewing deck which overlooks the entire city of Cairo and provides astonishing views.

Words cannot describe the beauty of this mosque and the peace we could feel once we entered the mosque despite the crowd. I cannot ruin the experience for others by putting photos of its interior. Worth the visit. Without a doubt if you are in Cairo, and if you love architecture and intricate designs, highly recommended!

This is a stunning piece of architecture and and wonderful example of incorporation of different cultures. It was designed and constructed by the ottomans during their period of Egyptian occupation. The design is very grand and huge. Inside its inviting and spacious. The light chandelier is very unique and low hanging. Come during the evening when its cooler and not so hot.

One of the most iconic attractions of Cairo and one of the most beautiful mosques i’ve seen, it’s situated in Salahuddin Ayyubi citadel and the view of the whole city of Cairo from the backyard of the mosque is very beautiful, the mosque itself contains the tomb of Muhammad Ali Pasha and the interior design of the mosque is incredible, i do highly recommend visiting it.

What an amazing please to remind us about history and heritage.

I was attending a wedding ceremony and the lighting was superb.

The place is meticulously clean and it shows what history does Egypt behold and what the Egyptians can achieve.

The Hall is currently a wedding ceremony area that can be rented her wedding and it starts from around 5 p.m. till late in the evening.

Surely you would require a wedding planner to arrange for the whole ceremony, service, seating, music and a little bits and pieces beside the buffet.

If you can afford a wedding over there I would highly recommended especially it's an open area.

Alot of history in one place. I had a very great experience visiting this place with my very informative tourist guide who took her time to explain everything little thing we needed to know.
The interior design of the mosque is what got wow.
I have been marveled by all i am seeing around. Hope to come back here soon

Beautiful and very peaceful. It was our first site as soon as we landed in Cairo. Not far away from the airport as well. It is extremely pretty site, take your time exploring in.
