Mosques

Minya, a city on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt, is home to a network of listed mosques and prayer places that serve the local Muslim community. The mapped data shows a concentration of prayer spaces in the city center, particularly in the Qism Minya district, where several mosques are located within a short distance of each other. Notable among these are Al-Qushayri Mosque, Al-Habashi Mosque, Al-Lamati Mosque, and Al-Fouly Mosque, all situated within 0.6 km of the city center. These provide convenient options for daily prayers for residents and visitors in the heart of Minya.

Beyond the immediate city center, the mapped prayer places extend into several surrounding areas. In the Qism Minya district, mosques such as Al-Iman Mosque, Ali Shaerawy Mosque, Al-Rahman Mosque, Al-Fath Mosque, Al-Mashtal Mosque (on Taha Hussein street), Al-Obour Mosque, and Al-Jihad Mosque (on El-Khalifa street) are listed, covering a radius of up to 2.2 km from the center. Further afield, the data includes prayer rooms in Ad Dawoudeyah (Al-Dawadiyah Al-Sharqi Mosque, about 6 km away) and in the Abu Qirqas district, where mosques like Al-Tawala Mosque in Mansafis, Al-Zawiya Mosque in Kom AZ Zoheir, Abu Bakr Siddiq Mosque in Al Matahrah Al Qebleyah, and Al Taqwa Mosque and Aisha Hassan Mosque in Madinet Al Fekreyah are mapped, extending up to nearly 20 km from Minya center.

This distribution of listed prayer places across Minya and its surrounding districts—from the central Qism Minya area to Abu Qirqas and Ad Dawoudeyah—indicates a widespread presence of mosques catering to the Muslim population. For those living or traveling in Minya, the mapped records offer a practical guide to nearby prayer locations, whether in the bustling city center or in more suburban areas. The variety of mosque names and addresses reflects the community's needs, with several mosques bearing names like Al-Fath and Al-Iman appearing in multiple locations, suggesting a well-established prayer-place infrastructure across the region.

The listed mosques are based on available mapped records. Always verify the exact address and opening hours before visiting, as details may change. For mosques with incomplete addresses, use the provided coordinates or contact local residents for directions. Some mosques may have separate prayer areas for women; it is advisable to check in advance.
