Built in 1985 around the tomb of the young daughter of Husayn ibn Ali, the Sayyida Ruqayya Shrine is a dazzling example of modern Iranian-influenced Islamic architecture. Its interior is famous for its intricate mirror mosaics and vibrant blue tilework that create a shimmering atmosphere. The mosque serves as a significant pilgrimage site, drawing visitors who come to pay their respects at the ornate silver-gilded shrine. Visitors need to pass through security and leave their phones with the guards.
