- geelongexpatMelbourne, Australia1,229 contributionsLarge Mosque with plenty of people visiting during the day. It was clean. They let me (man) through with shorts on too. But you need to take your shoes off. Entrance was freeWritten July 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert ORotterdam, The Netherlands5,725 contributionsCompleted in 1363 this mosque and school symbolizes the power of the Mamluk sultans. Its initiator was Hassan, the energetic (7th) son of Mohamed Hassan. Perhaps in a hurry to leave his mark on the world - assassinated at the age of 27- he chose an ambitious project. The main building is 150 meters long, 68m wide and 36m high. A colossal structure even now, let alone if placed in the 14th century context. The ornamentation is perhaps not as refined as other examples of Mamluk architecture, but still awe inspiring.Written May 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- laczkozsuDebrecen, Hungary2,257 contributionsThis mosque was opened in 879. It has a huge central yard with arcades on four sides. We had to wear a plastic bag on our shoes (we got it for some tips, of course). Prayer carpets are everywhere. Its spiral minaret is interesting, too.Written April 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Though it was built 500 years later than Hassan Mosque, they made it similar in appearance.Written May 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Codiak!Abbotsford, Canada12,016 contributionsWhen we were on a G Adventures tour of Egypt we stopped in to this mosque to look around.

- Robert ORotterdam, The Netherlands5,725 contributionsCompleted in 1285 in just 13th months time! It was possible, because the assigned supervisor even forced local passers-by to work. Not to mention other workers and enslaved Mongols who were taken as prisoners of war earlier. "Brutal abuse" was their fate according to contemporary historian Al Maqrizi. Sultan Qalawun and his son who both have their tombs in the mausoleum must have thought: it is the magnificent result that counts.Written June 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FaysordinarylifeEmirate of Ajman, United Arab Emirates69 contributionsThis is a historical place and very sacred for muslims. There is a different kind of spiritual feel to this place but the cleanliness and chaos around the area disappointed me as a tourist. The management and people really need to work toward keeping the place clean.Written December 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LolaGo1Washington DC, DC6,633 contributionsThere is enough signage in Coptic Cairo about this church, making it easy to locate it. Infront of this church is the beautiful picture of St. Barbara. I don’t know anything about this saint, just looked around the church and took some photos.Written October 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Eileen108Mount Shasta, CA4,887 contributionsThis is just inside the Northern gate of Islamic Cairo, Bab Al Futuh. The mosque was built in 928 AD and it was interesting to just go around for a few minutes and admire the architecture and contemplate on the history. It is free entrance so worth a quick visit.
This was included in a Mara House 9-day group tour (HIGHLY recommended!) with 16 others.Written October 18, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
