Although it is not as famous as M. Ali mosque I believe that any one who is planning to visit the citadel area should go to this mosque :
1) it is a small mosque . It takes 10 - 15 minutes to complete the visit
2) it has an archtectural style that shows elements of theMumluk style mixed with Ayubid and Fatimid elements
3) it sheds the light on the practice of using parts of ancient monuments in building mosques and other buildings .such practice continued to the middle of the 19th century. Watch the pillars of the mosque they are obviously from different sources, contemporary and preceding .

Great addition to any citadel visit. Can spend 2min or 20mins here. Very peaceful when we went. Very photogenic.

One of the amazing places inside the citadel once you get in you will feel amazed once you reach imam place it’s made out of valuable stones

The mosque of Sultan al­‑Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun, in the Citadel of Salah al‑Din al‑Ayyubi (Saladin) in Cairo, was the royal mosque during the Mamluk Period (792–922 AH/1250–1517 AD). It is located in the Citadel’s southern section. The Mamluk sultan, al‑Nasir Muhammad, over the course of his forty‑two‑year reign that was interrupted three times, built more monuments than any other ruler of the Mamluk ruler. He decreed that this mosque be built in 718 AH/1318 AD. After it was completed, however, he demolished it.

It very nice ancient Masjid.. I hope to maintain the internal cleanliness of dust

One of the oldest and most beautiful mosques in Egypt.

Very comfortable and peaceful place.. Around 1318, when the mosque was completed, the Sultan al-Nasir used it for his daily prayer. A side room enclosed by intricate iron work served as a private place of thought for the busy sultan. The call to prayer was broadcast to the North where the palace troops would be able to hear it.Perhaps unique in all of history, the funds to build this mosque exceeded its actual costs. These funds were used to buy more land and shops to support the mosque making it one of the wealthiest institutions in the city.

Both the financial stability and the Sultan’s own prestige made the Citadel Mosque a desirable place to work. To decide who would get the job, the Sultan called before him all the muezzins, preachers, and readers in the city to come before him and preach. Thus, the king got to pick the best and brightest religious leaders to serve in his mosque.

Just spectacular!! If you're in Cairo, it's a must see. History, faith, beautiful architecture....

The oldest mosque in the citadel of Sala el deen near Mohamed Aly mosque. Was built in the Mamluk,s time.

Oldest mosque of the comples, not very decorated but that's because is older and in a different style.

Beautiful architecture and art of qalawuns in the city

You have to visit this place in person. It’s stunning.the photos don’t do it justice.

Beautiful mosque!

The Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qala'un Mosque is an early 14th-century mosque at the Citadel in Cairo, Egypt. It was built by the Mamluk sultan Al-Nasr Muhammad in 1318 as the royal mosque of the Citadel, where the sultans of Cairo performed their Friday prayers. The mosque is located across the street from the courtyard access to the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. The Sultan also built a religious complex in the center of the city, next to the one by his father Qalawun.

As I was walking by they waved me in. Beautiful place of worship. The details are amazing. Remove your shoes and take some great pictures.

Oldest mosque in the citadel, less impressive than the alabaster one but more authentic

Gorgeous design and decoration ♥

Delightful mosque that is maybe overshadowed a bit by the mosque of Muhammad Ali. It is definitely worth a visit and the inside is really a photogenic place.
