Introduction

This mosque was built during the Ottoman Empire by Muhammad Ali Pasha in memory of his deceased eldest son. After Muhammad Ali's death, he was also buried here, so the mosque was named after him. This Turkish-style mosque was one of the largest of its kind in the first half of the 19th century. Its towering twin minarets and magnificent overall style make it one of the most impressive buildings in Cairo.
