Mausoleum of Tarabay al-Sharifi, Islamic mausoleum in Darb al-Ahmar district, Cairo, Egypt
The mausoleum features stone walls, intricate mihrab designs, and contains both a public water fountain and a primary school within its complex.
Built in 1503 for Amir Tarabay al-Sharifi, a former mamluk slave who rose to leadership during Sultan al-Ghuri's reign from 1501 to 1516.
The structure demonstrates Mamluk architectural elements through its specialized design, incorporating religious and educational functions within a single complex.
The Aga Khan Trust for Culture completed restoration work between 2006 and 2009, preserving the monument for future generations to study and visit.
