Mosque Al-Ghouri The minaret is atypical of this period. Mamluk minarets are square, octagonal & round layers. This 4 story minaret is rectangular from top to bottom. in 1505 after it was noticed that the minaret was leaning, it was reconstructed and the upper part was made with bricks covered with blue faience tiles. The present top with five bulbs is a modern addition, and a misrepresentation of the original one.
