Royal mosque in the citadel

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, is one of Cairo's most iconic landmarks, located within the historic Citadel of Saladin. Commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha, the Ottoman ruler of Egypt, the mosque was constructed between 1830 and 1848. Its design was heavily influenced by the Ottoman style, particularly the architecture of Istanbul, with the renowned architect Yusuf Bushnak playing a pivotal role in its creation. #History #Travel #trip #Culture #Egypt
