Mosque of Sayyida Huriyya, Islamic shrine and mosque in Telt village, Beni Suef Governorate, Egypt.

The Mosque of Sayyida Huriyya features traditional Egyptian Islamic architecture with domes and decorative elements in the Al Fashn district.

Mohamed Bey Islam built the mosque next to Sayyida Huriyya's tomb, and his son Osman Bey completed the construction in 1323 Hijri.

The mosque holds a major festival during Sha'ban month, with tents, decorations, and Sufi rituals celebrating Sayyida Huriyya's birthday.

Local governors regularly attend Friday prayers at the mosque, which remains open throughout the year for worship and community gatherings.

The shrine contains intricate arabesque work and inscriptions honoring Sayyida Huriyya, who showed valor during the battle of Buhnas in Minya.
