The Sayida Aisha Mosque features a tall, slender minaret that rises above the surrounding neighborhood of Al Khalifa. This site marks the burial place of Aisha, the daughter of Imam Jafar al-Sadiq and a granddaughter of the Prophet Muhammad. Her arrival in Egypt remains a source of local devotion, drawing people who come to pay their respects at the shrine. The mosque has undergone multiple reconstructions, evolving from a simple mausoleum into the structure that occupies this busy square today.
