The plan, a forecourt surrounded by domed porticoes and a prayer hall covered with a central dome carried on six columns and surrounded by smaller domes, bears a closer resemblance to the plan of an Istanbul mosque than any other Ottoman structure in Cairo. The only Cairene feature of this plan is that the prayer niche protrudes on the back wall. The mihrab, apart from the blue Iznik tiles, is in the Mamluk style of polychrome marble panels. The marble minbar carved and drilled, with its pointed summit, is also of Ottoman style. The decoration, subdued and concentrated mainly on the mihrab and in the coloured glass round windows, does not affect the beautiful sense of space.
