Sultan al-Ghuri Complex

Built in 1503-1504 AD by Sultan Qansuh al-Ghuri, the complex is a distinctive example of late Mamluk Islamic architecture in Old Cairo. It comprises a mosque-madrasa, mausoleum, khanqah (Sufi lodge), sabil-kuttab (drinking fountain plus Quran school), a maqʿad (reception hall), residential house, and other civic facilities. Its two halves are linked by a wooden roof over a market of textiles and clothing. Rich decorations include muqarnas, black-and-white stone work, gilded wooden ceilings, arabesque motifs, and calligraphic marble.
