Mamluk complex built in 1502-1505 by the sultan Qansuh al-Ghuri, on Al-Muizz Street, next to Al-Azhar. It comprises two buildings facing each other across the street: the mosque and madrasa on one side, and the khanqah with the mausoleum on the other. It is an example of the last Mamluk period, shortly before the Ottoman conquest of 1517.
