The Al-Rafai Mosque, constructed in modern times and mentioned in guidebooks from 1868 to 1912, is situated east of the Sultan Hassan Mosque. Its impressive architecture showcases a quadruple stand and incorporates various European styles. Later, it was converted into a mausoleum for the Muhammad Ali family.
