Notes
Zamalek Mosque or “Revolution Mosque” is the main mosque of the Zamalek neighborhood. It was opened in 1955 AD, and it represents a distinctive character in Islamic mosques as it was designed in the new Islamic style. The mosque is located at 142 July 26th Street. A number of engineers and architects participated in the construction process, trade, drawing and inspection work, the most important of whom are: the contractor engineer Abdel Khaleq Mustafa and the well-known architect Mario Rossi. As for its architectural planning, it is modeled after the planning of traditional Ottoman mosques with two units, where the mosque consists of a prayer room and a sanctuary, and the mosque has two entrances. The first is the main entrance on the waterfront, and an entrance to the Haram, which is the entrance to the events hall now. There is a separate entrance for ablutions and bathrooms, and it goes up to the second floor via an internal staircase between the prayer hall and the Haram, and the upper floor is reserved for the women’s prayer hall. The mosque has four stone facades. The northeastern facade is the main facade of the mosque, with the main entrance in the middle. It is one of the hanging mosques that can be ascended by stairs. It has a large facade with arches and columns, and is located on 26 July Street in Zamalek.
