Introduction

Al Sahaba Mosque crowns the central square of Sharm el-Sheikh's Old Market, completed in 2017 to a design by Egyptian architect Fouad Tawfik Hafez that blends Mamluk and Ottoman styles. Twin minarets rise 76 metres, and the entrance portal is banded in alternating red, black, and pale stone in the classic ablaq technique. It replaced an older prayer hall and is now the resort's principal mosque. Non-Muslims can enter free outside prayer times; women must cover their heads and arms. It is most photogenic at dusk, when floodlights wash the facade gold—pair it with an evening wander through the market.
