Very interesting historical site. Airy and cool corridors leading to the central place of worship. Well worth a visit.

A great historic mosque to visit. Site needs more maintenance and cleanliness. There is not place for womens prayer during Jumuah or other prayer times..

Sultan al-Nasir Hasan (full name: An-Nasir Badr ad-Din Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Qalawun) ascended the throne at the age of 13 in 748 AH/1347 CE.[1] When he reached maturity in 1350, he arrested the Emir Manjaq who controlled all of the states affairs. Prior to that arrest, the emir was restricted to an allowance of just one hundred dirham per day.

Beautiful mosque especially sultan Hassan... a spacious and calming sanctuary in the city. Expect to pay entrance fee if not Egyptian and tip the person who takes care of the shoes.

Unbelievable to see such an extraordinary historic place like this one. What I have seen there might be one of the most same-state place in islamic history without renovation 😍Recommend every traveler and every tourist from all over the world to come visit Egypt, Cairo and most importantly, Masged Soltan Hassan 😍😍😍

The most magnificent islamic monument in the whole world

A very beautiful and a must visit mosque in Cairo highly recommend

It was beautiful building with great design. Must really see in person to truly appreciate.

Amazing experience 1st time for me there and really I did enjoyed allot the place and the masjed is very nice architecture there are so unique wish just some more care from government to improve and renovate the place but over all its amazing place to visit and try it

Loved the place and the unique architecture and art.... Also so peaceful

Rich with history and has this serene, calm manner about it that you could spend hours inside just staring at its beautiful motifs

One of the oldest mosques in Egypt. Still kept like it was built from about 600 years. A must-visit place.

Magnificent building. Very sad that it is not well maintained in terms of cleanliness. Also unfortunate that they allow people who may or may not be employees harass visitors hoping for tips.

👌

It was beautiful but we enjoyed the Citadel more. Its worth a stop and visit, but the views cant compare.

The mosque building is amazing

Magnificent architecture and wonderful Islamic patterns everywhere, Sultan Hassan mosque is called the 4th pyramid of Egypt

Amazing places of the egypt they should seen for every travelers

You must visite this wonderful mousque to see great Islamic agriculture

80p=€4.5 ticket, students 40. Close at 4:30pmPersonally I found the new mosque inside is better than Suntan Hassan. Sutan Hassan is not really worth coming and this ticket.

A place where you can find peace and smell of history

Very very beautiful 😍🤩🤩❤️

Nice places to visit if you have more free time in Cairo and dont know where to go...if you are going to the Citadel its a good stop along the way...

A very beautiful, impressive place, worth visiting in Cairo

Almost 1000 old school and masjed sokrsn Hassan

One of the largest mosques in Egypt. The architecture and Muslim history that this place holds is epic. Definitely worth visiting if youre in the citadel in cairo

It is one of the Islamic history icons! Its architecture is magnificent!Yet, the government doesnt give it the proper care! The mosque from outside is so dusty!The guy who is taking care of shoes is taking money by force!

These are incredible buildings that I would say are a must see. They are huge and magnificent from an architectural perspective. They rival any European cathedrals of the same era. They are rarely visited as most tours go to the better known Mohamed-Ali mosque, so you get to enjoy this wonderful place pretty much on your own. Well worth a visit.

Very beautiful and quiet place you can ever visit 💜

Awesome place to visit ❤️

The best mosque you will ever see

Beautiful piece of Islamic Architecture.

The mosques construction is considered all the more remarkable as it coincided with the devastation wrought by the Black Plague, which struck Cairo repeatedly from the mid-14th century onwards. Its construction began in 1356 CE (757 AH) and work proceeded for three years without even a single day of idleness.In fact, work appears to have continued even up to 1363, even after Sultan Hasans death, before eventually ceasing.[1] An inscription on the mosque notes the name of amir Muhammad ibn Biylik al-Muhsini as the supervisor of the construction of the mosque. Unusually, his name was placed near Sultan Hasans in the inscription, which demonstrates how important the undertaking of the project must have been.The amirs high standing otherwise was another indication of this prestige, as he was appointed governor of Cairo in 1330 and oversaw other construction projects including the renovation of the hippodrome established by al-Zahir Baybars near the Citadel.

Very magnificent historical place

So prestigious historical place, enjoyed visiting it :)Its preferred to have your tour in winter or just avoid summer.

Its the best masged you should visit it.

One of the oldest Mosques, people gather from arround the world during approximatively one week per year to celebrate Hussain Birthday...

Stunning architecture. Vibrant and welcoming energy. A must see while in Cairo.

You cannot imagine how is that building huge ,Amazing engineering to built a Mosque and school like that ,you have to visit it

Magical

Excellent place

Piece of art

Architectural masterpiece building of old islamic school and mosque

Very spiritual place.. The high ceilings and wide area make you feel more comfortable.. The old and authentic design of musque architecture is amazing.. Even the outer area between As-Sultan Hassan and Ar-Refaaie very confortable and has a different atmosphere with a fresh air even in a very hot days.

Each step is an amazing surprise, each corner are very beautiful, also you feel a lot of peace

Huge old mosque with amazing architectureKing mohamad Reza Aryamehr of Iran is buried in AlRefahi mosque.

Egypt is not only about pyramids. In fact, Cairo was built long after the pyramids. Cairo is an extremely interesting city with his own history and mosques are an important part of this history. Its good to have a guide and remember there is a dress code in mosques for both men and women.

One of the oldest and greatest mosques in Egypt, considered as the fourth pyramid. Its construction began 757 AH/1356 CE with work ending three years later without even a single day of idleness.Also it is designed to include schools for all four of the Sunni schools of thought: Shafii, Maliki, Hanafi and Hanbali.Make sure to have a pic inside the Iwan as It measured 65 cubits, five higher than another notably large mosque, the Iwan of Kusraw at Al-Madain in Iraq.P.S. my pics from there.. have fun😊

One of the most beautiful mosques I visited in Egypt it is identified as mamlalik baheraya mosque, it has 4 minarets one of them fell on the students in Muhammad ali time and the other was removed in the upgrading of the mosque the remaining is two minarets now. It is built by the archetict Baylak as Muhammad ali requested. It has one of the largest gates ever. While Baylak was building the mosque Muhammed ali said I want sth impressive so Baylyk kept thinking until he renovated that gigantic place in the world. You must must visit!! And search for more information on it

Its really beautiful inside. If you need a tour Guide in Egypt contact me on my Instagram @turisi.egy

This is a mosque and also the place where the 4 islamic school are located. It is very old and architicurally beautiful and breath taking. It makes me sad that this place isnt taken care of as it should be, the carpets are dusty and smelly and bathrooms should be cleaner. This is a place that attracts people who pray several times a day and should be able to serve them and have a presentable picture of the history and country. I also think that authorities should equip it with guides who speak English and different languages to explain and guide the tourists. Finding parking in this area is not easy and wheelchair accessible. It is very close to other attractions and eating places.For ladies, bring a scarf with you, preferably a large one.

More than wonderful ! But need more services at the site ... You should visit if you are @ Cairo!

Absolutely beautiful mosque. The marble stone work inside is exquisite.

This place is not known to many tourists, but its just so beautiful..among many other kings, the king of Iran and king Forouq of Egypt are berried here too. Must see

Thank you to all the staff for the good reception and quality of service

Beautiful peaceful and full of good place for photography lovers

A hidden gem in old Cairo. This mosque and museum is of great significance and not many people know about it. It’s a visit when in Cairo. So much history of past kings from the Ottoman Empire and beyond. Great for photos too

Great idea to built such building by the time of MAMALIK .

Would definitely recommend even for those not interested in historic placesThere is a lot to see and to take inThe architecture is marvelous and is well maintained

It is a place with history the architecture is impressive each with its time and story.

One of the most beautiful Mashed Ive ever seen , I love it

Absolutely beautiful medieval mosque that contains four schools and boarding facilities for scholars. Definitely worth it!

The most famous islamic monument... and it really worth it!

So I am not going to make sure that I have the wrong email addresses on your you 🙃 and I have always had the same problem 🙃 😅 I have no a problem for the next time you are not a big man or a big fan or if youre going to be a big deal for the

Islamic art pure

Nice decoration.huge size.behind the citadel of salah el din.

Nice place its a must beautiful place

Marvelous

Its an amazing place ❤️ 😍, I recommended this masjid to all people, to visit it

Beautiful building but it looks unused and does not have the atmosphere like other places of that kind. There are more interesting places in Cairo.

The Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan is a monumental mosque and madrasa located in the historic district of Cairo, Egypt. It was built between 1356 and 1363 during the Bahri Mamluk period, commissioned by Sultan an-Nasir Hasan.

A must see mosque

One of a kind mosque with amazing spiritual vibes

If you want to feel the calmness .. you have to visit this place ❤️

A fantastic opportunity. I just wish they would invest more in cleaning the Masjid and upgrade the carpets.

Such a nice environ .

Such a great monument. Worth having a visit

The Pyramid of Islamic Architecture. A unique edifice where every corner and every stone shows unparalleled art💖💖💖💖💖

Extremely beautiful mosque. If you didnt know, the Shah is buried there.

One of the greatest examples of islamic Architecture. Highly recommended

This is a beautiful mosque built during the Mamluk era. It has an extremely spiritual vibe, as well as a uniquely designed entryway and an impressive courtyard. It has many fine-looking lamps Kandil and is a must-see historic site in old Cairo.

The most calm and beautiful mosque in elsayeda Aishas areaYou can mediate there to find your peace

Made Salaah in a piece of history... loved it

Amazing visit for this masgid history

Built between 1356 and 1363 by Cairo’s Mamluk ruler Sultan Hassan, the Sultan Hassan Mosque and Madrassa was designed as a place of worship and madrassa (Islamic school). Visitors can admire its scale and beauty, see its teaching areas (liwans), and view its other highlight: the mausoleum of Sultan Hassan himself.Things to Know Before You Go The Sultan Hassan Mosquewill appeal to history and religious buffs.Dress respectfully to go inside, with shoulders and knees fully covered.Be prepared to remove your shoes and leave them at the entrance.Women should wear a headscarf and a long skirt or long pants.Restrooms are located behind the mosque.

Not much here, mostly an educational institution it does have a couryard style mosque. Would skip it.

The great built in cairo

Amazing mosque worth the visit

One of the biggest old mosques , comprises schools , hospital , very spiritual

Very memorizing.... Amazing place .

Crown of Eastern Islamic Architecture ♥️

Beautiful mosque

A great mosque

Lovely mosque.

Greatest ancient islamic building in the histroy

Great warship place which contains the biggest Ewan (islamic engineering structure) in the whole world

A place with the fragrance of history, you will wonder while you wandering!Madrasa of Sultan Hassan & the Mosque of Al Rifai both are the same but there are historical and architectural differences.The first one was established about 500 years elder than the second that is why they are mainly different.The second essentially established as a building simulating the other, but the first is still better than the other because its high kinds of architecture it have been built.Whereas the first was dedicated for studying Islamic sciences, the other was for royal familys commands, otherwise its members have rested in peace inside it.Finally, I can promise you that you will enjoy you eyes with unbelievable scenes and refresh your mind to recognize how the historical remains of human are amazing!

Nice experience

Wonderful history
