Mosque El Mina El Kabeer

This guide to Mosque El Mina El Kabeer starts in 1968, when a modest mosque opened by Hurghada's harbor with Egypt's president on hand to cut the ribbon for the fishermen who prayed there. It follows Hurghada's growth from harbor town to resort city, and the 2006 decision to hand over that land for something built to match what the city had become. The original mosque served fishermen who washed the salt from their hands before kneeling there to pray.
