Mogamaa Al-Adyan includes Amr Ibn Al-As, the first mosque built in Egypt and Africa and the fourth built since the beginning of Islam, after the mosques of Medina, Basra and Kufa.

Next to the mosque stands a group of churches and monasteries where Jesus and the Virgin Mary passed during their trip to Egypt, as well as the Jewish temple.
