Over
Korte feiten: De gebedsruimte meet 57 meter in lengte en heeft een opmerkelijke minaretspits van 45 meter hoogte. De moskee toont een mix van Omajjaden- en Mamlukkenarchitectuur en was ooit het religieuze centrum van de oude stad.
Hoogtepunten: Indrukwekkende steenhouwwerken op de hoofdingang tonen florale patronen die bijna 700 jaar oud zijn. Bezoekers kunnen onder de dakkapel de unieke achthoekige structuur zien die het licht spectaculair reflecteert.
Insidertips
- Light, respectful clothing with covered shoulders is recommended.
- Photograph the minaret from the southern courtyard side for the best light.
- Visit the side rooms, which are often overlooked.
- Avoid midday to escape the biggest crowds of visitors.
