Mosque of al-Zahir Baybars

Large, heavily restored mosque from 1269. Originally built for refugees displaced by Mongol invasions, using marble and timber Baybars acquired in his campaigns against the crusaders.

The government of Kazakhstan recently paid for a complete renovation. Most of the windows, columns and stucco are new, with just the area near the mihrab having some original elements. It still makes for a wonderful site, especially the vastness of the space.

I took the metro to El Geish, visited here, and then walked south into Islamic Cairo, which worked out great. No entry fee. No hassle from the mosque attendants. Only entry is from the south.

Sultan Al zahir baybars Mosque One of the most ancient historical mosques in egypt, it looks nice and beautiful, and its architectural view is most lockable and mind-blowing.

Very nice and large many ppl can pray without crowdness

Finally I could write a review on one of the most waited moments. Finally I could say that it's a must visit place for it's authentic vibes.

One of the most important Mosques in Cairo, is finally finished after years of Renovation. ❤

The place is opened during prayers, you can visit with your families any time.

Everyone is welcomed to visit this place.

The main room is a must, as it took them a lot to get it done.

Lots of history but currently under renovation, and you cannot ingress.

I haven't been inside the mosque. Just used the nearby free parking.
