As a Non-Muslim, I was invited to visit the Mosque and have a drink during Ramadan. The Mashhad of Sayyida Ruqayya (Arabic: مَشْهَد ٱلسَّيِّدَة رُقَيَّة, Romanized: Mashhad As-Sayyida Ruqayya),[1] sometimes referred to as the Mausoleum or Tomb of Sayyida Ruqayya,[2][3] is a 12th-century Islamic monument Religious Shrine and Mosque in Cairo, Egypt. It was erected in 1133 CE as a memorial to Ruqayya bint Ali (also known as Sayyida Ruqayya), a member of the Islamic prophet Muhammad's family.[4] It is also notable as one of the few and most important Fatimid-era mausoleums preserved in Cairo today.
