About this asset

The Sultan Faraj Ibn Barquq Mosque (also known as the Khanqah of Faraj Ibn Barquq) photographed from a low angle, showcasing the stone facade with twin domes, arched niches (Iwan openings), a slender minaret, and surrounding trees framing a blue sky with scattered clouds. Located in the Eastern Cemetery (Sahara El Mamalik / Al-Qarafa Al-Sharqiyya) along Salah Salem Road, Manshiyat Nasr, Cairo, this mosque complex was completed around 1411 CE during the Burji Mamluk Sultanate and is one of the most significant funerary mosque complexes in Islamic Cairo. The structure exemplifies classic Mamluk architecture with its alternating stone courses, geometric stone carvings, and monumental scale.
