• Although the Sultan Hassan Mosque and the Al-Rifa‘i Mosque stand only a few meters apart—so close that many think they form a single complex—more than five centuries separate their construction. The Sultan Hassan Mosque was built in 1356 CE, while Al-Rifaei Mosque was commissioned much later in 1869 CE by Khoshiar Hanim, the mother of Khedive Ismail.
• Sultan Hassan Mosque: The Sultan Hassan Mosque is one of the finest examples of Mamluk architecture and is often described as a masterpiece of Islamic design in the East. It was built by Sultan Al-Nasir Hassan, son of Al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun, between 1356 and 1363 CE.
• Al-Rifa‘i Mosque: Facing the Sultan Hassan Mosque is the Al-Rifa‘i Mosque, whose construction began in 1869 CE as part of a plan to modernize Cairo’s historical district. Work stopped for years, then resumed under Khedive Abbas Hilmi II, and the mosque was finally completed in 1911 CE and opened in 1912 CE.
  The mosque is renowned as the royal mausoleum of Egypt’s modern rulers, housing the tombs of Khedive Ismail, his mother Khoshiar Hanim, Sultan Hussein Kamel, King Fuad I, and King Farouk I.
