Sidi Bishr Mosque

The mosque contains a rectangular courtyard surrounded by porticoes. The mosque also has an iwan containing three porticoes made of octagonal columns bearing pointed arches. The iwan is divided into four corridors parallel to the wall of the qibla. On the western side of the iwan is a shrine containing a square-shaped room surmounted by a dome. The dome is considered the oldest part of the mosque, as it dates back to the 19th century CE.[6][7] The mosque has been renovated several times, most notably during the reign of the Khedive Abbas II of Egypt and in 1945, when its size quadrupled.[2][8][9]
