The Sheikh Metwally El Shaarawy Mosque, known locally as مسجد الشيخ متولي الشعراوي, is situated in the lively area of Aïn El Turk, in the Wilaya d'Oran. Named after the respected sheikh, this sunni mosque caters primarily to Arabic-speaking worshippers.
In terms of facilities, the mosque clearly prioritizes inclusivity and convenience. It has ensured that female worshippers are catered to by offering separate prayer spaces, keeping in line with traditional Islamic norms. This design provision effectively acknowledges and respects the cultural and social sensibilities of its community.
Furthermore, mindful of the cleanliness rituals in Islam, the mosque has enabled an Odhu facility. Worshippers before prayer can perform the ritual cleaning known as 'odhu,' making the religious observance process smoother and more convenient for them.
