Ahmad Al-Badawi Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Tanta, Egypt
The Ahmad Al-Badawi Mosque spans 6,300 square meters and features two minarets reaching 85 meters in height at its front entrance.
The mosque originated in the 13th century when Ahmad Al-Badawi's student Abd Al-Mutal established a religious corner near his teacher's burial location.
The mosque holds Egypt's largest religious festival each October, drawing followers from 67 different Sufi orders for week-long celebrations.
The mosque includes prayer halls, educational facilities, and a dedicated space containing Al-Badawi's tomb, marked by intricate copper decorations.
