Description:

This is a view of the Sultan Hassan Mosque and madrasa (school) in Cairo, Egypt as seen from the famed Alabaster Mosque. Construction of the Sultan Hassan Mosque was begun in 1356 and completed six years later. It was a very large mosque for its time, spanning 150 meters and having approximately 7,900 square meters of indoor space. It is considered by many to be the most outstanding Islamic monument in Egypt.Designed by a Greek architect, the Alabaster Mosque (officially the Mohammed Ali Mosque) was finished in 1857. It is representative of the 'Ottoman Style', and is the resting place of Mohammed Ali Pasha, ruler of Egypt, and founder of the country's last dynasty. Cairo, Egypt is a popular tourist destination for Westerners, as well as the entry point to the Great Pyramids of Giza. Tourists would do well, however, to be mindful of the potential health hazards associated with travel to any destination, foreign or domestic.
