The rectangular structure measures 31 meters long and 17 meters wide, with a height of 15 meters. It consists of two parts: a covered section and a courtyard. The single prayer hall covers approximately 360 square meters. A surrounding wall, varying in height from 2.40 to 2.90 meters, encloses the building. Each of the two main facades features a minaret flanked by two towers. Massive pillars, aligned parallel to the qibla wall, support the roof.Non-Muslims are typically not allowed to enter the Misire Mosque.
