Esplanade housing a mosque in front of a sahn and a clock tower presented by Louis-Philippe to Mohammed Ali in 1846.

A number of Mamluk-era buildings were demolished to clear the esplanade and build the mosque, in front of which stands a sahn or ablutions fountain. Next to it stands a tower housing the clock presented by Louis-Philippe to Mohammed Ali in 1846. For a long time, this clock did not work. In 2003, thanks to cooperation with the French Embassy in Egypt, an investor was able to repair it, but it doesn't really work today.

LA BELLE HORLOGE
CETTE ESPLANADE REGROUPE UNE TRES BELLE FONTAINE AINSI QU'UNE JOLIE HORLOGE QUI NE FONCTIONNE PAS

Une horloge historique
Que de commentaires ont du être faite sur cette horloge qui ne fonctionne pas.
Mais c'est un élément de la mosquée qui a un certain charme.
La fontaine est grandiose.

Pour la vue
Vous rêvez de voir le Caire depuis les hauteurs? Vous avez le choix mais si vous ne pouvez pas aller jusqu'à Moqqatam sachez que cette esplanade vous ravira les mirettes tout autant!
exceptional for the view, exceptional for tranquillity!
