Mosque of Sultan Al-Mu’ayyad

Close to the Bab Zuweila gate in Cairo’s old city, the 15th-century Mosque of Sultan Al-Mu’ayyad rises from the site of a former prison where the sultan himself was once held. Despite extensive renovations over the years, the mosque retains its original splendor with brilliantly colored marble and intricate decorations. The elegant twin minarets, a defining feature, punctuate the skyline. Today, visitors can explore the interior, admire the detailed craftsmanship, and take in the historical significance of this architectural gem.
