Qawsun’s mausoleum sits in the historic city; reach it by taxi to Bab Zuweila or the Khan al-Khalili area and walk along al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah Street. The site is within short walking distance of other major Mamluk-era monuments.

• Qawsun's mausoleum (if this refers to the well-known Amir Qawsun) is more prominent than many on this list - look for a more elaborate portal and a taller minaret.
• If planning to photograph, arrive early to avoid tour groups at the better-known complexes.
• Combine the visit with nearby Mamluk complexes along al-Mu'izz Street for richer historical context.
