The Attarine Mosque (Arabic: مسجد العطارين), also known as the Al-Juyushi Mosque (Arabic: الجامع الجيوشى) is a mosque located in Alexandria, on the north coast of Egypt. The mosque was built on the site of a former church that was dedicated to Athanasius of Alexandria, and subsequently re-dedicated to Saint Sabbas. The present structure of the mosque dates from the early 20th century, and much of its original foundation has been lost, save for an inscription on a stone which commemorates Badr al-Jamali, one of the renovators of the mosque.
