Cairo

Answer: Cairo

The given picture is from Mosque of Muhammad Ali in Cairo, Egypt.

The biggest mosque to be constructed in the first half of the 19th century, this Ottoman structure is the most recognisable mosque in Cairo thanks to its twin minarets and lively silhouette. It is located atop the citadel. It is a mosque that can be found in Cairo’s Citadel.

Muhammad Ali Pasha ordered the construction of the Alabaster Mosque, also known as the Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha, between 1830 and 1848. The mosque was constructed in honour of Muhammad Ali’s eldest son, Tusun Pasha, who passed away in 1816. Muhammad Ali made the decision to construct his state mosque totally in the Ottomans’ architectural style.

A central dome encircled by four smaller, semicircular domes was used in the construction of the mosque. It had a square design and was 41 metres by 41 metres in size. The building’s height is 52 metres, and the central dome has a diameter of 21 metres. On the western side of the mosque, two beautiful Turkish-style conical minarets with two balconies and 82-meter heights may be seen.

This mosque, along with the citadel, is a well-known landmark in Cairo and one of the first things toruists notice as they approach the city.
