[1][2][3] Although only the main mosque structure remains today, the mosque was part of a larger religious-charitable complex that included a madrasa, a library, a takiya (a khanqah or Sufi complex), a sabil (water dispensary), a hod (water trough), and latrines, making it the last major architectural complexes of this kind built by the mamluk beys of Egypt.

The portico, however, is preceded by an outer wall façade, shorter than the main building behind it, which demonstrates a more explicitly Mamluk style and has an ornate entrance portal.

The triangular arrangement of windows in the drum of the main dome of the mosque is also a Mamluk feature.

Inside, the large dome has trilobed squinches at its corners (similar to the Qubbat al-Fadawiya in the Abbasiya neighbourhood) and is painted with Ottoman-style arabesques and motifs.

[5][1] On the south side of the mosque are the remains of a two-story structure which served as the takiya (Sufi lodge).
