Al Rifa`i Mosque

Al-Rifa`i Mosque is a majestic mausoleum-mosque, a "pantheon" for the monarchs of 20th-century Egypt. Located directly opposite the Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan (14th century) in the square by the Citadel, it represents a conscious attempt by the modern era to revive Mamluk architecture, creating a worthy burial place for the new ruling elite.
