The Abu Haggag Mosque is located within the Ancient Egypt Luxor Temple complex. The mosque stands on the columns of the ancient temple. That part of the Luxor Temple was converted to a church by the Romans in 395 AD, and then to a mosque around 1200, which is more than 4,000 years of continuous religious worship. The mosque contains the tomb of Sheikh Yusuf Abu al-Haggag, after whom the mosque is named.
