Hammam of Inal

The Hammam of Sultan Inal features a central marble room with a domed ceiling containing colored glass windows that filter natural light throughout the space.

Built in 1456 under Sultan Inal's reign during the Mamluk period, this bathhouse represents one of the 80 hammams that existed in Cairo by the late 19th century.

The bathhouse served as both a cleansing facility and social gathering space where community members connected and exchanged news while performing traditional bathing rituals.

Located on Al-Muizz street in the Bayn al-Qasrayn district, the hammam underwent extensive restoration work and now welcomes visitors as a historical monument.

The structure maintains its original engineering features, including sophisticated water heating systems and ventilation methods developed by Mamluk architects in medieval Cairo.
