• Coordinates: 30.04691° N, 31.27618° E
• Visiting notes: Small-scale mausoleum with scarce published visitor information; check local guidance before visiting

Located in Cairo’s old city, the mausoleum is best reached by taxi to the Al-Azhar/Khan al-Khalili or Bab Zuweila areas, followed by a short walk through narrow lanes. The clusters of mausoleums in this precinct are within walking distance of each other.

• Look for small fragments of tile or stone with unusual coloration - they are often the remnants of original decoration.
• Talk to local custodians about the building's use - some mausoleums double as small community prayer spaces on certain days.
• If a place is locked, asking politely often works better than insisting; caretakers typically respond to respect.
