    It is said that this mosque is the place where the prophet Daniel alaihissalam had visited/was entombed. The tomb is located inside a small room, down the spiral wooden staircase (sometimes it might be quite dark down there) in the mosque. The mosque itself is quite big, with comfortable carpets at the prayer hall. The toilets & ablution areas might use a little more attention though. It is not that recognizable from the road outside, so you sometimes you might miss the entrance. The workers here also seldom asks for money for no good reason, so be vigilant if you must.

    A historical mosque. A must visit mosque when you are traveling to Alexandria, Egypt. It has a saint tombs. People call it the Prophet Danial, but historical sources have different version. He is a muslim scholar with the same name: Danial.

    Caretaker wanted money for the visit and was adamant he wanted larger USD amounts. Didnt want to open the exit doors otherwise. It was akward. Ah well. The Makam itself was well kept and down a flight of stairs. Some ppl like the experience.

👍 The place is cool, but need to be more organized, and I don't really get it , why would they close the place and never let visitor's in since its a square in the middle of a public street. Some things in Egypt are just unbelievable, unexpected and unexplainable
