This masjid just next to Luxar temple. The masjid looks like is built at one part of the Luxor Temple. There are ancient Egyptian scripts, pillars and so on

Worth stopping to pray at this mosque when visiting the Luxor temple. Abou al Haggag brought Islam to Luxor and established the mosque on the temple grounds. The inside of the mosque brings together something from the ancient past and the not so ancient. You'll notice 2 architecturally different minarets, which are 100s of years apart. Have 5 Egyptian pounds with you to pay for use of the toilet and wudhu facilities.

Abu Al-Hajjaj Mosque in Luxor ... Tucked away near Luxor Temple lies a peaceful gem: Abu Al-Hajjaj Mosque. Built in 1286, its simple square design whispers of ancient Fatimid mosques. Unfussy with its wooden roof and red brick balconies, it beckons you to relax and soak in its understated beauty. A hidden haven perfect for a quiet moment in the vibrant city.

A small, old mosque in the middle of the Luxor temples complex. Comfortable enough for prayers, the mosque is only accessible from the outside of the temple complex, where it faces a wide, tiled square where people, hawkers & beggars usually hang out. The prayer hall is not that big & cool enough although not air-conditioned. The toilets are outside, downstairs & might use a bit more cleaning. The ablution areas are outside of the mosque near the entrance. There’s also a tomb inside the mosque, being said as the tomb of a Sufi Islamic saint in the Luxor area.

A grand Mosque. The buildings are really pretty, but too many people, and lots of restrictions. There's fixed route you are allowed to go, and you can only take photos on designated areas. The guards are monitoring every tourist's activity. Ladies need to totally cover the hair. The guard will ask you to correct your hair piece if some of the hair exposed. Better check the dress code before you go.

Nice mosque, but not open 24 hours to the public. From Sunrise to sunset I went there for Kate Esha, which I missed, 30 minutes Esha time. The security said it closed after 30 or 45 minutes after Esha. 🙂 so it's not 24. 🙂Go early in the day. 🙂 nice views of Luxor from the second floor of the mosque 🕌

So bad that they build a mosque against such a beautiful old monument of Egytian grandeur. Somehow they found ot necessary to put an loudspeaker on the minaret to make each call to prayer eardeafening when you visit Luxor temple. So stupid and a sign of disrespect for their own old history. In front of this Mosque there used to be a nice shopping centre with lovely souvenirshops that had a great vibe. They demolished the whole site to create a square with stone and trees as an entrance to the mosque and a place to organize relogious events. The upcoming orthodox islam has made this lovely place become less and less attractive for tourists. The only good thing os that they have upgraded the soukh to a lovely lively place.

This mosque is build straight on top of the luxor temple and blends perfectly in the surroundings of ancient Egypt. I don't know the age but it is very nice to see.

This has a very interesting story. The Mosque was built in Luxor right over the Temple, which was deep underground at the time. After certain antiquities were found on the site (you can see these at the Luxor Museum) the entire temple was shored up, but they opted to leave the Mosque where it sat. The Mosque is not suspended 20 feet above the floor of the temple and you can see the lines ground used to be. I don't think I would have kept the Mosque where it is, but it is an interesting sight.

You can get a good view of Luxor Temple from up there, the old entrance of the mosque is also seen from inside the temple. You can visit it if you are not a muslim, just leave your shoe outside and make sure your sock or feet are clean and enter freely, you can check others praying, Abou al-Haggag Tomb and enjoy the view

Very good place at Luxor temple

The Mosque of Abu Haggag (Arabic: مسجد أبو الحجاج بالأقصر) is a mosque in Luxor, Egypt. It is integrated into the structure of Luxor Temple, an Ancient Egyptian centre of worship, making it one of the oldest continuously used temples in the world, dating back to the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep III in the 14th century BC.

Exceptional experience of pharonic ,Coptic and Islamic joined in same area , very unique mosque

It is amazing place to visit, so much history.

A masjid that is built on a hill. It's one of the most peaceful places I ever visited. There's a plaza outside. A very beautiful plaza where you can see hundreds of pigeons which one can feed. The seen is wonderful similar to that in UK and Makkah at Saudi Arabia. However, I couldn't go inside as women are not permitted to as it's COVID time. Unfair.

Its a mosque but still had coptic drawings on the wall. People in the mosque were just begging for money ticket was to expensive for what they had to offer

Luxor is such a beautiful city, and i was blessed to hear one of the most beautiful athaan i have ever heared in my life

Peace in this place and history at the same moment!

Very interesting view, I am certainly enjoyed the view

A part of the luxor temple. Fun fact, it is technically an ancient Egyptian tomb, topped by an old church then both topped by a mosque built by a man from Morocco who settled there.

An old historical mosque was built in the embrace of Luxor temple, and the mosque has a spacious yard that is rich with pigeons.
