Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the grand El-Rifai Mosque of Cairo, founded in 1869 as a testament to the piety of Princess Khochiâr Hânem and completed in 1912 by her great-grandson, Khedive Abbas II. Through a careful study of the mosque's design and construction, the author uncovers its rich architectural significance and historical context.
