Hammam Izz al-Din Aybak

The Hammam Izz al-Din Aybak features separate sections for changing rooms and bathing areas, with traditional domed ceilings and intricate tile decorations throughout the structure.

Built between 1294 and 1298 during the Mamluk period, this public bath carries the name of Al-Muizz Izz ad-Din Aybak, the first Sultan of the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt.

The hammam functioned as both a bathing facility and a meeting place where residents of Tripoli gathered to maintain social connections and participate in community activities.

Modern visitors can explore the traditional layout consisting of the burrani for changing clothes and the al-hammi section dedicated to hot water and steam bathing.

This establishment remains one of only five historical hammams still standing in Tripoli, preserving the architectural elements of the Mamluk period in their original form.
