The Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, a monumental Mamluk-era complex in Islamic Cairo, is generally accessible via walking through bustling streets, though its historic architecture means limited accessibility for those with mobility issues due to steps. While solo visits are possible and rewarding, a local guide is highly recommended to fully appreciate its rich history, intricate design, and religious significance. The site is open year-round, but visitors should be mindful of Egypt's intense summer heat (June-August) and potentially altered hours during Ramadan, with winter offering the most comfortable climate. The approximate cost for entry is around 100-140 EGP for foreign adults, plus potential small fees for photography or optional guides. A typical visit duration ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 hours to thoroughly explore its vast halls, courtyards, and madrasa quarters. Useful insights include dressing modestly (covering shoulders and knees) and preparing to remove shoes before entering prayer areas; combining a visit with the adjacent Al-Rifa'i Mosque is also highly recommended.
