Right after the Madrasah and Sabil-kuttab of Sultan al Ashraf Barsbay, on the north west corner of the intersection of al Muski street or in arabic Sharia al Muski and al-Mu’izz Street is the Masjid and Sabil-kuttab of Shaikh Mutahhar that was constructed in 1744. The lunette of tiles over the door, the minaret above the entrance, and the sabil-kuttab belong to a structure built here by 'Abd al-Rahman Katkhunda. I had a brief stop here. The well maintained wooden arabesques works of some parts of the building especially the masharabeya amazed me. But in the interest of time to catch the Friday prayer congregation, I went on.
