This is a list of mosques in Alexandria, Egypt.
After Alexandria fell under Muslim control, it gradually lost its importance since the newly created Empire was not dependent on land and had other ports nearby like Damietta, and Palestinian ports, but nevertheless the city includes several large and important mosques. After Napoleon came in, the city started to regain its power over the nearby port of Rosetta. Alexandria is the second largest in Egypt and one of the most important Mediterranean Sea ports.
