Overview
A landmark, built to last
Masjid Al-Emam Al-Zahabi anchors the Imam Al-Zahaby Charity Complex as a mosque, library and education centre rising from a 4,200 m² site in the heart of New Cairo. Al Majd · Warner Lewis delivered the building: substructure and frame, the stone-clad envelope, the dome and minaret, and the finishes that carry the space.
The brief was permanence. A prayer hall for more than 800 worshippers beneath a single dome, a landmark minaret on the skyline and a stone facade detailed in the Moorish tradition were built to serve generations, not seasons.
Phase one, comprising the mosque and prayer hall, is complete and in daily use. The education centre and community facilities follow on the same site, to the same standard.
