THE MOSQUE OF AL-BURDAYNI

Al-Burdayni Mosque was founded between 1616 and 1629 by Karim al-Din al-Burdayni, Shafi'i judge, but was completed in 1694 by a wealthy merchant, located on the nearby street of Muhammad Ali to Queen Safiya Mosque.

Despite being built in the ottoman period, the mosque built on the Mamluk style. The mosque is a small construction, in fact no larger than a square room, has a rich minaret oriented, and despite its size, the mosque is rich in ornaments.

The walls are fully covered with marble panels, sheets, marble and mosaic, while the ceiling is exquisitely gilded and the windows are beautifully decorated with brightly colored glass.

The L-shaped mosque has two facades; the western facade provides the entrance with a minaret on its right side. The upper section consists of a bulb based on a balcony on stalactites, thus imitating late Mamluk minarets.
The mosque's pulpit is unique; it is inlaid with ebony.
