The Mosque of Sultan Al-Muayyad, a musician and poet, built 1412-21. The 'Madrasa-Khanka' [monastery] of this religious complex was dedicated to Sufis only. The 'Dikka' of decorated wood and ivory, the slender marble columns and the gilded ceilings give a hypostyle plan to the congregational Mosque. The name Roberts gives, 'Metwalyes', refers to the nearby gate 'Bawabbat al-Mitwali', better known as Bab Zuwailah.
