Huge mosque with a great view of the city!
穆罕默德‧阿里清真寺的点评
点评：2026-October
Our guide and driver picked us up from our hotel and brought us here as part of a day tour package. Our guide provided the entrance tickets.
The mosque sits inside the Citadel of Saladin, up on a hill above the city. The facility is gated and guarded, and no public vehicles are allowed inside, so you walk in from the gate. There are some shops inside the grounds.
The facility is huge, inside and out. Before you enter the mosque, you will be asked to remove your shoes or purchase shoe covers from the people by the door. Dress modestly for this one — cover shoulders and knees, both men & women.
The mosque itself is huge! It is called the Alabaster Mosque because of the alabaster stone covering its walls. It was built for Muhammad Ali Pasha, the founder of modern Egypt, and it is modeled on the great mosques of Istanbul, with a big central dome.
In the courtyard there is a structure where Muslims used to wash before prayer, and a clock tower that was a gift from the King of France, given in exchange for the ancient obelisk from Luxor that now stands in Paris. Our guide told us the clock has never worked — France got the better end of that deal!
Muhammad Ali's tomb is inside the mosque, to the right as you enter, behind a bronze screen. And no, this is not the boxer — this is Muhammad Ali Pasha, the ruler of Egypt.
Outside, from the Citadel walls you also get a bird's eye view over the whole city of Cairo, so bring your camera.
It was good to get a bird's eye view of how Muslims worship, too. Our guide explained the prayers and the washing ritual, and also included how arranged marriage works, living situations, and everyday life in Egypt.
If you're in Cairo, you should stop by. We spent 1 hours here because our guide gave us more than its history.
Have a great visit!

我们的导游兼司机从酒店接上我们，作为一日游套餐的一部分带我们来到这里。导游为我们购买了入场券。
这座清真寺坐落于萨拉丁城堡内，位于城市上方的山丘上。整个区域有门禁和警卫把守，不允许任何公共车辆进入，因此只能从大门步行进入。园区内还有一些商店。
整个建筑群规模庞大，无论内部还是外部都是如此。在进入清真寺之前，您需要脱掉鞋子，或者向门口的工作人员购买鞋套。参观时着装要得体——无论男女，都需遮盖住肩膀和膝盖。
这座清真寺规模宏大！由于其墙壁是用雪花石砌成，因此被称为“雪花石清真寺”。它是为现代埃及的缔造者穆罕默德·阿里帕夏而建，建筑样式仿照了伊斯坦布尔的多座著名清真寺，中央还有一个巨大的圆顶。庭院里有一座建筑，过去穆斯林们会在那里进行祷告前的沐浴；还有一座钟楼，那是法国国王赠送的礼物——作为交换，埃及把卢克索的古老方尖碑送到了巴黎。导游告诉我们，那座钟楼从来都没正常运转过——看来法国在这笔交易中占了便宜呢！
穆罕默德·阿里的陵墓位于清真寺内，进门后右边有一道青铜屏风，陵墓就在其后。需要说明的是，这里的穆罕默德·阿里并非那位拳击手，而是埃及的统治者穆罕默德·阿里帕夏。
外面……从城堡的城墙上，你可以俯瞰整个开罗市，所以记得带上相机哦。
能从高处观察穆斯林的礼拜过程也很有意思。导游为我们讲解了祈祷仪式和净身流程，还介绍了包办婚姻的运作方式、当地人的居住环境以及埃及的日常生活。
如果你来到开罗，一定要到此一游。我们在那里待了1个小时，因为导游为我们讲述了许多关于它的历史故事。
祝你的游览愉快！
