Muhammad Ali Mosque in the Citadel in Egypt
The Mosque of Muhammad Ali or Alabaster Mosque or Alabaster Mosque is one of the famous archaeological mosques in Cairo. It was established by Muhammad Ali Pasha between the period from 1830 AD to 1848 AD in the Ottoman style, similar to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul. It is sometimes called the Alabaster or Alabaster Mosque due to the frequent use of this type of marble in the cladding of its walls. The successors of Muhammad Ali Pasha took care of the mosque, so they completed the building and added some simple additions to it. They also made it a headquarters for the celebration of annual religious occasions. They were, in order, Abbas Hilmi Pasha I, Muhammad Said Pasha, Ismail Pasha, and Tawfiq Pasha. However, the largest restoration process was during the reign of Fuad I, who ordered the mosque to be restored to its old splendor after its walls had cracks due to an engineering defect. His son Farouk I after him also took care of the mosque and opened it for prayer again after completing the restoration process.
The mosque was built in a section of the land of the Al-Ablaq Palace inside the Citadel of Salah al-Din, and it is currently one of the effects of the Khalifa neighborhood of the southern district of Cairo, and adjacent to it inside the castle is the Al-Nasir Qalawun Mosque. Outside and near the wall of the castle are located several other ancient mosques represented in the Sultan Hassan Mosque, a mosque Al-Rifai, Mahmoudiya Mosque, Qani Bay Al-Ramah Mosque, Jawhar Al-Lala Mosque
