Mausoleum of Gani Bek Monument

The Mausoleum of Gani Bek is a funerary monument in Cairo Governorate, Egypt, named for the individual commemorated at the tomb. It is identified on maps by its coordinates and is a local historic grave structure.

A modest tomb building marks the burial site; it is not listed as a major tourist attraction and does not have widely published visitor information. Physical details such as dimensions, decorative program, and interior arrangement are not consistently documented in public sources.

Specific archival details on who built the mausoleum, the exact construction date, and its original patronage are not widely available in published references. Contemporary descriptions treat it as a local historic funerary monument rather than a well-documented archaeological site.

The mausoleum sits within the metropolitan area of Cairo at 30.02238° N, 31.25697° E, in Cairo Governorate, Egypt. It lies within the dense urban zone of greater Cairo rather than in an isolated cemetery setting.

• Coordinates: 30.02238° N, 31.25697° E
• Visiting notes: Located within the urban fabric of greater Cairo; there are no widely published visiting hours or facilities

Access is the same as nearby historic mausoleums: taxi or ride-hailing to the Al-Azhar/Khan al-Khalili or Bab Zuweila area and then a short walk through narrow streets. These clusters are best explored on foot.

• Note the condition of wooden screens and grilles - they often date from later repairs and can be extremely old.
• Combine this visit with a walk to nearby madrasas and minarets; the neighborhood is a compact museum of small-scale Islamic architecture.
• Bring small change if a caretaker requests a contribution toward upkeep.
