Ibn Uthman Mosque, Mamluk mosque in Gaza City, Palestine

The Ibn Uthman Mosque measures 45 meters by 36.5 meters and contains a central courtyard surrounded by porticoes with marble inlaid decorations.

Sheikh Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Uthman, who originated from Nablus and settled in Gaza, established this mosque during the Burji Mamluk period around 1430.

The mosque stands as the second most significant Friday prayer location in Gaza City, after the Great Mosque of Gaza.

The building sits at an elevation of 37 meters above sea level, with pointed arches and cross-vaults supported by stone pillars throughout its structure.

A decree from 1450 by Sultan Jaqmaq regarding taxation policy remains inscribed within the mosque, indicating its administrative importance during the Mamluk era.
