Beautiful mosque. As per Wikipedia it is believed that the head of Imam Husain was buried here. Very peaceful inside the mosque. No entry fees. There are quite a few gates and will have to ask staff which one to enter. There are separate entrance for men and women. Very close to Khan El Khalili Market. Worth visiting.

This is the most famous square in Cairo, Egypt. It is not only one of the holy places of worship for believers, but also a large shopping market. Here you can feel the atmosphere of Egypt. You can communicate with the Egyptian people up close, buy handicrafts, watch Egyptian citizens live, taste Egyptian food. Plants hand drawing case decoration, is also an experience!
Mosque of Muhammad Ali - the largest Islamic mosque in Egypt, built in 1830. The tomb of the chief governor of Egypt during the Ottoman rule, Muhammad Ali, is here, the mosque named after him. The square in front of the door overlooks the entire city of Cairo. The rules of the mosque are very strict, you must take off your shoes and enter the bag. There is a circle of faucets at the door, which is for clean hands and clean bodies. Haha, it is not the clean bodies of eunuchs, but Muslims wash their bodies and call them clean bodies.
one of the most historical place, the golden age of Egypt I would say so. And it’s surrounding it’s great
Other than the pyramids, the most important place to see in Cairo. Spent a few hours there.
