The day of March 24, 2017, is etched into Egyptian architectural history with the inauguration of Al-Sahaba Mosque in the Red Sea resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh. The mosque, whose name refers to the companions of the Prophet Muhammad, is one of the most important Islamic structures built in the country in the 21st century.
Al-Sahaba Mosque was built combining a pattern of different styles — Fatimid, Mamluk, Ottoman and canonical — to send a message that the Sinai Peninsula, which was once the cradle of religions, is still a place of tolerance and love.
