The Mimbar of the mosque is decorated with mother of pearl. The door to the minbar is made of wood and decorated with abanos wood and alabaster. The platform of the minbar is like many other in Cairo, surmounted by a dome. This mimbar is the most brilliant one can see in the Mamluk style. Unlike the mimbar, the mihrab of the mosque is rather plain and familiar, not unlike many others in Cairo. It is only a niche in the wall to show the direction of the qibla. There are five lines of decorations in the mihrab with some very small golden decorations in the second line but the whole mihrab is still very average and unassuming Taken @Cairo, Egypt
