Sayeda Aisha Mosque, Mosque in Khalifa district, Cairo, Egypt

The mosque features a square design with a central courtyard surrounded by porticoes, following traditional Islamic architectural principles for prayer spaces.

Built near the tomb of Aisha bint Jafar al-Sadiq, the mosque underwent reconstruction in 1762 under Prince Abdulrahman Katkhuda and again in 1971.

The mosque holds regular religious ceremonies and social gatherings, serving as a central location for Islamic education in the Egyptian capital.

Located near Citadel Square on Sayeda Aisha Street, the mosque provides prayer facilities and religious services throughout the day for residents and visitors.

The structure maintains no connection to Prophet Muhammad's wife Aisha, but instead honors Aisha bint Jafar al-Sadiq, who died in Egypt at age 22.
