It has a large central dome surrounded with four smaller domes and four circular minarets. It is surrounded by two churches: across the street to the north is the Chaldean Catholic Church of St Joseph, completed in 1974, and across the street to the east sits the large Greek Catholic Church of St George, completed in 1969. The mosque is notable for being built in a largely Christian-populated district of Aleppo.[2]
