Al Sahaba Mosque
مسجد الصحابة
A large new mosque beside the Old Market that blends Ottoman and Fatimid styles, with twin minarets and a white dome that have become a new landmark of Sharm.
The mosque was completed in 2017 and combines architectural elements of the Ottoman and Fatimid dynasties. Its two tall minarets and intricately carved stone outer walls look especially beautiful under nighttime lighting. Visitors are generally allowed inside outside prayer times. Shoes must be removed, and visitors should wear long-sleeved, long-legged clothing, while women must cover their hair (headscarves can be borrowed at the entrance). Admission is free. The mosque is at the entrance to the Old Market, making it a good addition to an evening visit to the market.
