Ibn Barquq Mosque-Cairo Egypt

The Khanqah and Mausoleum of Sultan Faraj Ibn Barquq (1382-1399 AD) was built by, Sultan al-Nasir Faraj, in order to fulfill his father's desire to be buried near the tombs of the Sufis in Cairo's Northern cemetery. This complex was begun in 1400 and completed in 1411 AD near the sufis' tombs and the mausoleum of Anas (1382), who was the father of Sultan Barquq. Sultan Barquq was the first of the Circassian or Burgi Mamluks to be buried in the desert next to the tombs of the venerated Sufi Shaykhs. Today this tomb is one of the major monuments of Cairo as well as one of the three outstanding structures of the Northern Cemetery.
