Mosque of Al Maridani

This 1339 building incorporates architectural elements from several different periods: eight granite columns were taken from a Pharaonic monument; the arches contain Roman, Christian and Islamic designs; and the Ottomans added a fountain and wooden housing. Trees in the courtyard, attractive mashrabiyya (wooden lattice screens) and a lack of visitors make this a peaceful place to stop.
