Al-Sayyida Nafisa Mosque is a mosque in al-Sayyida Nafisa district (or Sebaa Valley), a section of the larger historic necropolis called al-Qarafa (or City of the Dead) in Cairo, Egypt. It is built to commemorate Sayyida Nafisa, an Islamic saint and member of the family of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. She was the great-granddaughter of Hasan, one of the Prophet Muhammad's two grandsons.[1] The mosque contains her mausoleum, also known as a mashhad.[2] Along with the necropolis around it, the mosque is listed as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Historic Cairo.
