The Mosque of Qaytbay, also known as the Madrasa of Qaytbay, is a historic religious structure in the Qal'at al-Kabsh neighbourhood of Cairo, Egypt. Completed in 1475, it is one of multiple monuments sponsored by the Mamluk sultan al-Ashraf Qaytbay. It is described as both a madrasa and a mosque by scholars, but functions as a mosque today.

Raised in 877 by the Abbasid governor, this mosque has a style reminiscent of the Samarra mosque in Iraq, quite different from other Egyptian mosques. Built on a six-acre site, the mosque was large enough to accommodate all of the city's males for Friday prayer. The mosque has an open interior, and the minaret, the oldest in Egypt, is climbable for a panorama.
The mansion of the British Egyptologist R.G. Gayer-Anderson has a large and fascinating number of rooms displaying artifacts from the traditional life of the Egyptian elites.
Finished in 1363, this mosque was raised by the Mamluk Sultan Hassan and lying below the citadel and next to the much more recent rifaii mosque, it's maybe the primary example of the Islamic Mamluk dynasty. One of the largest mosques in Egypt and the Arab world, it was used as a school for different Islamic (Sunni) schools of thought and also contains a mausoleum.
مسجد الرفاعي
Built in 1911, this mosque holds the tombs of a great number of Egyptian aristocrat families and also the last Shah of Iran, who retreated to Cairo after being ousted from power in his country.
