The mosque is located within the private campus of Misr University for Science and Technology, one of Egypt's first private universities.
The 6th of October City, where the mosque is situated, is a satellite city designed specifically to alleviate population density in central Cairo.
The mosque architecture incorporates a blend of traditional minaret design with modern concrete construction techniques prevalent in late 20th-century Egypt.
Misr University Masjed serves as the primary religious facility for the Misr University for Science and Technology (MUST) campus in the 6th of October City. The mosque features distinct Islamic architectural motifs typical of modern Egyptian institutional religious sites. It functions as a central prayer space for students, faculty, and local residents within the Giza Governorate. The structure is integrated into the larger university complex, facilitating regular congregational prayers. The facility is well-maintained and serves as a focal point for the surrounding academic community.

Visit during academic term breaks if you prefer a quieter environment, as the mosque is highly frequented by the student body during the semester.
Ensure you visit outside of the primary Friday prayer congregational times if you intend to explore the architecture without large crowds.
Avoid visiting during the peak Friday midday prayer time unless you are participating in the service, as the facility becomes significantly crowded.
Visitors must remove shoes before entering the prayer hall. Modest attire is required: shoulders and knees should be covered for both men and women, and women are expected to cover their hair with a scarf.
