The Al-Sayyida Nafesa Mosque is marked by its position at the edge of the historic Cairo necropolis, where it draws visitors to the shrine of a revered female Islamic scholar. Sayyida Nafesa, a great-granddaughter of the Prophet Muhammad, moved to Cairo in the ninth century and became a celebrated figure for her wisdom, piety, and charitable teachings.
