Mosques

Alexandria, Egypt's second-largest city, is home to a rich Islamic heritage reflected in its numerous mosques and prayer rooms. Based on available mapped records, the city hosts at least 20 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius, with a strong concentration in the historic city center and surrounding districts. Prominent landmarks such as the Al Qaaed Ibrahim Basha Mosque near Mahta Al Raml Square and the Sidi Morsi Abu al-Abbas Mosque in the Al Gomrok district highlight the deep-rooted spiritual life of the city. These mosques serve as both places of worship and community hubs for Muslims living in or visiting Alexandria.

The mapped data shows prayer places spread across several key areas of Alexandria. In the Bab Sharqi district, multiple mosques are listed, including Abu Bakr Mosque on Bani El-Abbas Street, Al-Manara Mosque, and Al-Mouwasat Mosque, indicating a well-established prayer-place presence in this central sector. The Moharam Bek area features Ahmed Orabi Mosque on El Noueiri Road and Badr Mosque, while the Al Attarin district includes the Al Qaaed Ibrahim Basha Mosque and El Nabi Daniel Mosque. Further afield, Sidi Bishr Mosque serves the eastern coastal neighborhood of Sidi Bishr, and Masjid El-Haja Anissa is located in Sidi Gaber. These listings demonstrate that mosques are accessible in both densely populated urban zones and more residential areas.

Beyond the city limits, the database includes prayer places in nearby towns and communes, such as Borg el Arab Airport Mosque in New Borg El Arab, Ali Ebn Abi Talib Mosque in Kafr El Dawwar, and two mosques in Rosetta (مسجد سيدي محمد البوصيلي and مسجد محطة طلمبات البوصيلى). For Muslims in Alexandria, this network of mapped mosques provides a practical resource for finding prayer spaces, whether in the bustling city center or during travel to surrounding areas. The variety of listed mosques—from historic landmarks to local neighborhood masjids—reflects the vibrant Muslim community life across Alexandria and its environs.
