Mosque of Muhammad Ali
The mosque was designed by the famous architect Yussuf Bushnaq and was financially funded by Muhammad Ali Pasha, the last of the line of kings in the country who was then the ruler of Egypt.
The site is clearly a combination of military and government history but is also considered a religious site too. The interior of the mosque is an ideal match to the impressive exterior.
The mosque is also home to a huge solid marble pulpit which interestingly enough is the largest in the country, and the light reflects from cut crystal, gilt covered surfaces.
The site is also famed for its more than 136 stained glass windows in the domes.
