Accessible from central historic Cairo, reach the mausoleum by taxi to Al-Azhar or Bab Zuweila and then walk the narrow lanes. Many such tombs are clustered within a short walk of key medieval landmarks.

• Watch for laminated photocopies of inscriptions posted by local antiquities enthusiasts - they sometimes translate faded bands of text.
• If the mausoleum is closed, linger in the surrounding alleys and speak with shopkeepers - they often know the caretakers.
• Combine visits with nearby, larger monuments for contrast and context.
