Located in Cairo’s old funerary quarter, the mausoleum is best reached on foot from the surrounding streets of the City of the Dead. From central Islamic Cairo (near Bab Zuweila/Sultan Hassan), expect a 20-40 minute walk through narrow lanes and cemetery streets; taxis can drop visitors at the nearest paved thoroughfare, but a short walk over uneven ground is usually required.

• Look for the faded inscription panels on the north wall - they often go unread but reveal the donor's name.
• Visit in the morning light when sun strikes the dome; the stonework's tooling shows up best then.
• Combine this stop with a walk through the nearby funerary complexes rather than treating it as a destination - the pleasure is in the layering of monuments.
