The mosque of al-Burdayni was built between 1616 and 1629 by the merchant Karim al-Din al-Burdayni. It was built during the Ottoman period but follows the Mamluk style in every detail. The small prayer hall is richly decorated, with marble panels, painted ceilings and coloured glass windows, and its minaret is carved in stone. It stands in al-Dawudiyya in Darb al-Ahmar.
