Al-Rifai Mosque (Masjid Al-Rifa’i)

Opposite the 14th-century Sultan Hassan Mosque, the Al-Rifai Mosque (Masjid Al-Rifa’i) stands as a grand architectural marvel. Constructed between 1869 and 1912, it features a towering minaret and four intricately decorated facades, each capped with an ornate dome. As one of Cairo’s largest mosques, it is notable for housing the tombs of many members of the Egyptian royal family, including King Farouk. Visitors can explore the spacious interior and admire the detailed craftsmanship that adorns the walls and ceilings.
