Mamluk architecture was the architectural style that developed in Egypt, the Levant, and the Hijaz under the Mamluk Sultanate (1250–1517), which ruled from their capital, Cairo. Despite their often tumultuous internal politics, the Mamluk sultans were prolific patrons of architecture and contributed enormously to the fabric of historic Cairo. The Mamluk period, particularly in the 14th century, oversaw the peak of Cairo's power and prosperity. Wikipedia →
