The Mosque of Al Salih Tala'i (Arabic: مسجد الصالح طلائع ) is one of about 43 historic monuments that were marked for restoration in the first phase of a project meant to turn the medieval part of Cairo into an open-air museum.
the Mosque is considered a suspended Mosque, this means that the mosque is built above stores, which help to preserve the mosque's needs with its rent.
