Abu Haggag Mosque, Islamic mosque within Luxor Temple, Egypt
The Abu Haggag Mosque rises from the first court of Luxor Temple complex, featuring two mud brick minarets and traditional Islamic architectural elements.
The mosque, constructed in the 13th century on the site of a former basilica, stands integrated into the ancient Luxor Temple from Pharaoh Amenhotep III's era.
The annual Mawlid celebration at the mosque includes boat processions, horse races, and Sufi music performances fifteen days before Ramadan begins.
Visitors can access the mosque during their exploration of Luxor Temple, with evening sound and light shows illuminating both religious structures.
The mosque's construction reveals ancient Egyptian columns and lintels with inscriptions from Ramesses II's period beneath its Islamic architecture.
