Al-Burdayni Mosque (Arabic: مسجد البرديني) is a mosque in Cairo, Egypt. It is located in Al-Dawoudia, near the Mosque of al-Malika Safiyya. It was built by a wealthy merchant, Kareem al-din al-Bardayni in 1616 during the Ottoman rule. The building is made of stone and has gates erected in 1629 on two sides on the west, right of the fountain. This mosque was built under Ottoman rule after the Ottomans defeated the Mamluks in 1517 and ruled over Egypt until 1867.^[1] The mosque is built in Mamluk style not Ottoman style which would have been the prevailing style of choice at the time.^[2] This is because Karim al-Din al-Burdayni did not align himself with the cultural practices of the Turks neither the Egyptians.^[2]
