The Sulayman Pasha Mosque, also known as the Sulayman Pasha al-Khadem Mosque (Arabic: مسجد سليمان باشا الخادم), and as the Sariat al-Jabal Mosque, is a mosque, mausoleum and shrine, located inside the Citadel at the top of Mount Mokattam, in Islamic Cairo, Egypt. The mosque was completed in 1528 CE by Suleiman Pasha Al-Khadem, one of the Ottoman-era rulers of Egypt. It was originally erected for the use of the janissaries stationed in the northern enclosure. It is the first mosque established in Egypt in Ottoman architectural style.
