One of Alexandria's significant tourist spots, the Abu Abbas al-Mursi Mosque was inherent in 1796 over the burial chamber of the thirteenth-century Sufi heavenly man Abu Abbas al-Mursi. The mosque has strict guidelines in terms of wardrobe and behavior. It is a mosque, so I would assume nothing less.
The mosque is cream-shaded. For non-strict guests, the mosque's lovely veneer of twirling Islamic calligraphy plans and themes is the significant draw-card. Those that need to enter to see the delightful and complex mosaic corridors should dress humbly and leave their shoes at the principal entrance. The mosque was rethought and designed to fit in the present structure by Eugenio Valzania and Mario Rossi in the years 1929/1945 and was exceptionally affected by Egypt's Old Cairo structures and engineering.
