Sidi Abd Al-Rahim Mosque

Amongst the many mosques that make up Qena's renowned Islamic heritage, this mosque which dominates Qena's skyline is one that stands out to the Sufi order in Egypt. The mosque was built above the tomb of Sheikh Al-Qenawi, who hailed from Morocco and founded the Sufi center in Qena upon his return from Mecca. It has since become a major site and place of pilgrimage to the devotees of Sufism, turning Qena into a center of Sufism in Egypt.
