Mosque-Madrassa of al Ghouri
In front of al Ghouri Mausoleum, Cairo, EgyptMap
Neighborhood: Downtown
Overview
Built in 1504 by Sultan Quansuh al Ghouri, this building is a delightful example of Mamluk architecture. Situated opposite the mausoleum of al Ghouri, the two buildings form a fine monument to the Mamluk style. Look out for the unusual chimneypot minaret before you enter. The large entrance trilobate arch is beautifully decorated with stalactites. The entrance leads to a corridor that opens on to a central courtyard.
