Description (The direction towards Mecca (Qibla) is described as eastern and other directions are named accordingly)

A small rectangular enclosure measuring ca 8 x 16 metres, facing streets to the south and west and adjoining neighbouring structures to the east and north, with a multistorey modern building abutting to the east. The entrance (longer) façade faces west.
The unit comprises a small single storey building in the southern part, and an open courtyard that occupies the northern part of the site. The neo-Mamluk entrance façade is built of ashlar stone; the craftsmanship is of high quality. Its southern part is tripartite and strictly axial. In the middle is the entrance portal set in a recess covered with elaborate three-tiered muqarnas frieze with muqarnases of “stalactite” forms. In a typically Mamluk-style arrangement, the monolithic limestone lintel over the door and the relieving arch above it, which is built of simple step-joggled voussoirs, are framed in knotted mouldings. There is no room for a window or an inscription panel over the door and below the muqarnas frieze. The wooden door-leaves with decorative panelling do not relate to Islamic patterns. On either side of the portal is a shallow rectangular recess covered with a simple muqarnas frieze and containing a window with the lintel and the relieving arch above it framed in simple (not knotted) moulding of Mamluk-style profile. The portion of the façade north of the tripartite section is plain, pierced with a smaller, simple rectangular window with a simple moulding around it. The façade is topped with a simple, Mamluk-profile cornice and fleur-de-lys crenellations, which are preserved only in the northern part of the façade. The southern façade has recently been completely refaced with stone cladding that obscured the original engaged slender column in the south-western corner. The blind niche in the façade decorated in typically Egyptian 21st century style provides in comparison with the main façade an interesting example of the evolution of architectural taste and quality of craftsmanship in Egypt between the early 20th and early 21st centuries.
