The Mosque of Muhammad Ali—also known as the Alabaster Mosque—stands prominently inside Cairo’s historic citadel. Muhammad Ali Pasha commissioned the mosque, which was constructed between 1830 and 1848 in an Ottoman-influenced Turkish architectural style.
Its spacious prayer hall is crowned by a large central dome surrounded by four half-domes and smaller corner domes. The mosque is also distinguished by its two elegant, pencil-shaped minarets, each reaching approximately 84 metres. Its Alabaster Mosque nickname comes from the marble panels decorating portions of its interior and exterior walls. Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities
