The Mosque of Muhammad Bey Abu al-Zahab.
Photograph of all that remains of a great complex built next to al-Azhar Mosque. This central-domed structure is a copy of Sinan Pasha mosque with a major omission: the minaret. This mosque's minaret seems to be consciously shaped after the late Mamluk minaret of al-Ghuri in the al-Azhar Mosque.
