Built entirely of mudbrick, the mosque is surrounded by an outer courtyard, which was meant to act as a moat keep the secular city at bay. This and its curious spiral minaret make it unique in Egypt.

Over the centuries, buildings have encroached on its width and it is no longer very grand, but it is still vital and busy. Lined with stalls, at Khan al-Khalili it is home to the coppersmiths’ market and an assortment of workshops.
