Aybaki Mosque, Mamluk mosque in Gaza City, Palestine

The Aybaki Mosque features traditional Mamluk architectural elements, including rounded arches, decorative stonework, and a prominent minaret reaching toward the sky.

Built in the late 13th century, the mosque stands on the foundations of a former Knights Templar church that existed before Saladin's conquest in 1187.

Named after Sheikh Abdullah al-Aybaki, the mosque maintains its position as a central gathering space for Islamic worship and community events in Gaza City.

The religious complex sits in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, with regular prayer sessions held daily and increased attendance during Friday congregational prayers.

Two sons of Sheikh Abdullah al-Aybaki rest in different locations: Sheikh Iyad at Sayed al-Hashim Mosque and Ahmad al-Aybaki in the sanctuary of al-Mazar.
