Mausoleum of the family of Tabataba, Historic mausoleum in Fustat, Egypt.
The Tabataba Mausoleum features six chambers with burial spaces and incorporates architectural elements of Islamic design, including three remaining domes and interior pillars.
Built in 945 during the Ikhshidid period, this mausoleum was commissioned by Muhammad ibn Tughj al-Ikhshid to house the remains of Sharif Tabataba al-Asghar.
The mausoleum represents Islamic burial traditions and architectural practices from the 10th century, displaying the fusion of Egyptian and Islamic design elements.
In 2022, the structure was relocated to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization grounds to protect it from rising water levels affecting its foundation.
During the relocation process, workers discovered previously unknown ancient tombstones beneath the structure, adding new historical information about the site.
