A man of the market give me a tour of this mosque. What stood out to me were the alabaster pillars. It's very large and forms a perimeter with a bare ground courtyard in the midle. There is some gold in the design as well, I'm told 18k. The lights and fans distract from the design, and do not compliment it. The doorways are amazing! There are however some Arabic design low hanging lights that do compliment the design. I tried to capture those. The Koran design in the ceiling is neat. If you are into mosques, this is for you. If you're not, this won't be worth your time.

The Impressive historic monuments of the Old Islamic Cairo Mosque-Madrasa El Sultan Hassan with the most huge dome in Old Islamic Cairo
A 700 years old mosque! great place to be visited in old cairo with amazing architectural works, spacious and peaceful halls to stay in
Breathtaking mosque. As usual is dirty and lack of maintenance are predominant but the building itself hold down a lot of history and art. Must visit.
It was one of the most impressive historic monuments.
It's an amazing place and there is no scams there. If you're a foringer and want to enter for free all you need just say I Muslims and it is better to go during Friday pray.
