The mosque has undergone extensive construction and repair. The tower was restored in 1647/48, and its eastern face is embellished with large bows and horseshoes in the Fatimid style. The minaret is ornamented with marble and terra cotta that has been painted in a Moorish style.
A door beneath a covered walkway that leads to a courtyard elevated above the prayer hall is the entrance to the mosque. Turkish Prayer Hall, which is capped by arches supported by ancient columns and capitals, has a portico surrounding it that has columns and capitals. The mihrab, which is enormous and semicircular in shape with seven niches divided by pilasterstowards the back of the hall, is topped by a fluted half-dome in the Fatimid style.
