【4K】Tour Al-Abbas Al-Mursi Mosque in Alexandria Egypt

Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mursi mosque is considered the most important historic mosque in Alexandria. Located near the citadel of Qaitbay in the neighbourhood of El-Anfoushi, the mosque is viewable from all along the Egyptian Corniche. The mosque is dedicated to the 13th century Murcian Andalusi Sufi saint Abul Abbas al-Mursi, whose tomb it contains. Al-Mursi died in 1286 and was buried on the site, where thereafter the first mosque was built in 1307. The mosque was redesigned and re-built in today's current form by Eugenio Valzania and Mario Rossi in the years 1929/1945, and was highly influenced by Egypt's Old Cairo buildings and architecture. The walls of the mosque stand for about 23 meters high and clad in artificial stone, coupled with soaring 73 meter high minarets, situated on the southern side. The monolithic columns are solid including their capital and base. They have an octagonal shape, which measures 85 meters in diameter at the base, and 8.60 meters in height. The different parts of the mosque including its doors, balcony, and windows are made of carved teak, citron and walnut. The overall form of the mosque is known as the Ayoubids style, with four distinct sections. The first section is about 15 meters high and has a fortress like square shape. The second octagonal section is four meters high, with eight decorated sides. The third level of the mosque is about 15 high with sixteen sides. The construction of the mosque was completed in 1943 by the Ministry of Waqfs and it cost about 140,000 LE. This amazing construction remains one of the mesmerizing attractions in Alexandria that revives the memory of the most beloved saint of Alexandria. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro music produced by Ryan Booth at The JamBooth Recording Studio. https://thejambooth.wixsite.com/music​   / jamboothmusic   #walkingtour #streetlife #alexandria #egypt #mosque #4kwalk
