La mezquita de Al-Rifai se encuentra en Midan al-Qala´un, en El Cairo, Egipto, se la suele conocer también como la Mezquita Real. Esta mezquita se encuentra frente al conjunto de mezquita y madrasa del Sultán Hassan construida en 1361. la mezquita de al Rifai es mucho más moderna, construida en el siglo XIX, pero forma parte del sentimiento de estos gobernantes que buscaban enlazarse históricamente con sus antecesores. La modernidad de esta mezquita es patente en las influencias occidentales que presenta, completando un conjunto plaza+boulevar.
En El Cairo, la mezquita y madraza del sultán Hassan es considerada la pieza más fina de arquitectura de comienzos del período mameluco, una época de esplendor arquitectónico.Cuenta la historia que la construcción de este complejo constituyó un proceso tedioso y trágico. En efecto, fue construido entre 1356 y 1363 por el sultán Hassan, quien fue asesinado poco tiempo antes de que la mezquita se terminara de construir.La mezquita y madraza del Sultán Hassan fue construida con enormes bloques de piedra. Debido a su gran altura, esta mezquita pronto se convirtió en un símbolo de la culminación de todo el poder arquitectónico desarrollado durante un siglo de dominio mameluco.

La Mezquita y Madraza del Sultán Hassan (a la izquierda) es una de las muestras más delicadas y sobresalientes de la arquitectura mameluca de El Cairo. Es considerada la pieza más fina de arquitectura de comienzos del período mameluco, una época de esplendor arquitectónico.
Fue construida entre 1356 y 1363 por el sultán Hassan, quien fue asesinado 2 años antes de la finalización de las obras.
Fue construida con enormes bloques de piedra. Algunos historiadores creen que los constructores de esta mezquita pueden haber utilizado piedras de las pirámides de Giza.
El diseño incluía albergar cuatro madrazas, una para cada escuela de jurisprudencia islámica: Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali y Hanafi.
Mientras se construía aparecieron algunos defectos de diseño, y se abandonó la idea de tener 4 minaretes (uno en cada esquina) después de que el que había encima de la entrada se derrumbó, matando a 300 personas. Otro minarete se derrumbó en 1659, y también la cúpula debilitada.
La historia temprana de la mezquita era tan inestable como su arquitectura: Hassan fue asesinado en 1391, dos años antes de la terminación, y la azotea fue utilizada como una plataforma de artillería durante golpes contra los sultanes Barquq (1391) y Tumanbey (1517).
La Mezquita de Al-Rifai (a la derecha) se suele conocer también como la Mezquita Real. Esta mezquita se encuentra frente al conjunto de mezquita y madrasa del Sultán Hassan construida en 1361.
La mezquita de Al Rifai es mucho más moderna, construida en el siglo XIX, pero forma parte del sentimiento de estos gobernantes que buscaban enlazarse históricamente con sus antecesores. La modernidad de esta mezquita es patente en las influencias occidentales que presenta, completando un conjunto plaza+boulevar.
Su construcción comenzó en 1869 y terminó en 1912, por encargo de Khushyar Hanim, como ampliación al templo zawiya dedicado al santo islámico Ahmad Al-Rifai.
El arquitecto de esta obra fue Husayn Fahmi Pasha al-Mi´mar, quien murió durante la construcción y al que siguió Max Herz, arquitecto de origen húngaro coordinador del Comité para la conservación de los monumentos árabes en El Cairo.

One hand raised to the heavens and the other train towards the earth, the Rifai order dervishes twirl around each other and themselves, immersing in the microcosm of the universe they have created and making contact with eternity.
The fact that humans can join the choreography of the cosmos by dancing to its rhythm is an awarenes that humanity has had since very ancient times. It is said that through this dance the dervish understands the possibility of the eternity of the soul; he has given away his body to the earth and his mind and soul can now concentrate on the fully transcendental.

Go to the old part of the city, known as Islamic Cairo, to experience the richness of Arab culture and architecture. Stroll through the markets, bargain heavily, smoke a shisha, and visit the city's beautiful mosques. Highlight for Muhammad Ali, also known as Alabaster Mosque. Both exterior (pictured) and interior are breathtaking! Also visit two temples that are side by side: Mosque of Sultan Hassan (left) and Ar-Rifai (right).

Most of the walls of the mosque are covered with colorful marble with different styles of the Mamluk style ornamentation. This is an impressive place, both in its monumental size and in the variety of its dazzling ornamentation. Here, nineteen different kinds of marble from seven different countries were used. Pointed arches divide the royal mosque into three porticoes. Two marble columns, one white and the other dark green, stand at the sides of the great dome There are forty-four grand columns in all, and eighteen intricately worked window grills

Overwhelmed by the huge structure of the Refa'i Mosque and the tiny details of the decorations on its exterior walls, and by the large marble columns that are a part of the entrance portal. The designers and builders of this grand mosque paid considerable attention to every single detail of its ornamentation

One of Cairo's most popular tourist attractions is the Citadel which houses a number of museums, ancient mosques and other sites, located on a spur of limestone that had been detached from its parent Moqattam Hills by quarrying. The Citadel is one of the world's greatest monuments to medieval warfare, as well as a highly visible landmark on Cairo's eastern skyline.Particularly when viewed from the back side (from the north), the Citadel reveals a very medieval character..Taken @Cairo, Egypt
Lighting has always been an interesting element of mosque design. The lighting of this mosque is well suited, consisting mainly of huge, ornate brass lanterns that hang from the ceiling. These lanterns are electric now, but in the past used candles as a source of light. There are also many smaller lamps hung haphazardly, it would seem, from the ceiling

A mashrabiyya is a type of window that allows you to see out, but not in. They are also called oriel windows, that are enclosed with carved wood latticework, usually located on the 2nd floor or higher of a buiding, sometimes having stained glass between the wood. The mashrabiyya has been in use for a long time, beginning in the Middle Ages up until quite recenty in the mid 1900s

The Mosque is rectangular in shape, measuring some 6500 square meters in size. 1767 square meters of this area is reserved for praying, while the remainder is the mausoleum of the royal family. The Refa'i Mosque was built in the Bahri Mamluk style which was popular in the 19th and 20th centuries. This style was similar to the European style of buildings at the time. Most of the materials were imported from Europe

As with many of the inventions of the Arabs, the mashrabiyyas were built with many details in mind. The mashrabiyya provides shade and protection from the sun, while still allowing cool are in for ventilation. The design usually has small openings at the bottom and larger openings on the top, allowing for a draft to be created, allowing the room to remain comfortable
