The mosque’s design accommodates both the interior qibla orientation and the existing context of the street by progressively increasing the thickness of the wall of the street façade, an adjustment technique first employed in the Mosque of Al-Aqmar.
The sabil, which is next to the kuttab instead of underneath it, flaunts a façade decorated in an Ottoman baroque fashion and strongly recalls that of the sabil-kuttab built by Isma’il Pasha (1828) facing the Madrasa of al-Nasir Muhammad at Bayn Al-Qasrayn.
