Mosque & Madrasa of Sultan Al Ghuri

On the western side of Al Muizz St, opposite the mausoleum, is the second part of Al Ghouri's funerary complex, the intimate and richly decorated mosque-madrassa. The interior reveals gilt and painted wood panelling, panels of white and black marble, soaring ceilings and intricate geometric paving. Four iwans (vaulted halls) surround a small sunken courtyard. It’s also possible to climb the four-storey, red-chequered minaret (for baksheesh; ignore claims of ‘tickets’).
