- Al Rifai Mosque - Next, visit the prominent Al-Rifa’i Mosque, situated opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, dating back to around 1361. Architecturally designed to complement the older structure, this mosque was part of a 19th-century campaign by Egypt’s rulers to link themselves with the glory of earlier Islamic periods and modernize the city.

Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - Continue with a visit to one of Cairo’s largest mosques, the El Sultan Hassan Mosque, also known as
Madrasa El Sultan Hassan, founded by Sultan Hassan in 1356 A.D. This massive Mamluk-era mosque and madrassa, located near The Citadel in Cairo, began construction in 757 AH/1356 CE and was completed three years later without any delays. At the time, it was remarkable for its size and innovative architecture, designed to include schools for all four Sunni schools of thought: Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali. - Al-Azhar Mosque - Proceed to Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the mosque of the most resplendent. Commissioned by Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate for the newly established capital city in 970, its name is believed to reference the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam. It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city now known as “the City of a Thousand Minarets.”
