    Old mosque with iconic blue tiles adorning several inner walls. Has a nice courtyard with green plants and trees. Looks especially beautiful with the afternoon's orange light. Unofficial payment to some caretaker or imam to see the mausoleum (your mileage may vary).

    Attention! Scammers here. We had to pay 700 entrance fees to the imam. A tourist rip-off and very sad to see Islam like this.

    Fantastic. Well worth the visit. Alas, the original patterned floor was not saved.

    One of the most welcoming places in Turkey and especially in Bourse allows worshipers to casually pray where they want when they want in a mixed company. it's located at the heart of Turkey and surrounded by historical places The ablution fountain inside the mosque sparkles under the bright light of the central dome. The massive calligraphy printed on walls is rare, impressive, and inspiring. Photographers are welcome to take pictures. Bursa must-see. it's located near Aya Sophia and the place is full of people and you can feel the prayers once you are praying there

    Beautiful mosque, but the guard won't be very friendly if you don't pay him well.

    Nicely maintained. The caretaker was tending to the lovely trees in the courtyard and also had obviously just finished vacuuming when I arrived. Some of the reviews say " nothing special ". Certainly it is modestly sized and you can walk around and see everything in five minutes, but if you can sit quietly and enjoy the breeze and the birds twittering in the trees with a busy city just outside the walls.......

    Amazing but needs better management.

    Lovely Islamic artifact building The name "Blue Mosque" derives from its East wall, the Qibla (direction of the Ka'ba, toward which believers turn to face for prayer) tiled from floor to ceiling in beautifully colored Majolica, the predominant shade being blue. This floral tile work was a later addition from one of the renovations carried out by Ibrahim Aga Mustahfazan. These tiles are in the style of ceramics manufacture in Iznik in Turkey, although the quality suggests they are provincial imitations possibly from Damascus. The Aqsunqur Mosque is very characteristic of the Mamluk architecture, a carefully composed monumental faade, it presents the street viewers with a view of a tall dome, elaborate carved surfaces and a slender minaret. Instead of the usual position at the portal, the minaret is strategically located at the southern corner of the faade, which projects into Bab al-Wazir Street. This provides it with a complete visual domination of the street and the surrounding area.

    Interesting mosque but people working there had disgusting attitude. 2 guys were walking behind me and my kids saying bakshish bakshish. They suggested they will open the area with a tomb when I was not interested (more irritated by their behaviour) they told me in English " no baksish, out" showing me with hand to leave. This is my third time in Cairo and never experienced such bad behaviour.
