Al-Nassir Mohamed Mosque, one of the three mosques in the Cairo Citadel, may seem tiny next to the Mohamed Ali Mosque, but it is the only remaining Mamluk contribution to the Citadel. The mosque dates to 1318 and has two minarets that differ in shape and height. Note the beautifully carved wooden ceiling, which is still well preserved. The glazed blue and green tiles that decorate the minarets are unusual for the mosques of Egypt and are also very beautiful. As you walk through this beautiful old mosque, it is hard to believe that it was once used as a stable!
