The Mosques of Egypt: Al-Azhar and the Muhammad Ali Mosque

Working mosques. Shoes off at the door; shoulders and knees covered; a scarf for women.

Al-Azhar has been a mosque and a university for more than a thousand years and is still both. The Muhammad Ali Mosque inside the Citadel, alabaster-faced and Ottoman in shape, is the one on every Cairo skyline; the old-market mosque in Sharm el-Sheikh serves the town around it. All are open to visitors outside prayer times. Shoes come off at the door, shoulders and knees stay covered, and women should carry a scarf.
