21Sultan Qansuh al-Ghuri built his funerary complex between 1503 and 1504 in the Fahhamin quarter (charcoal market ) on al-Mu'izz street in Islamic Cairo. Though there was a clear decline in the quality of craftsmanship, particularly in stone carving and marble inlay during his reign, this is an interesting architectural composition built on both sides of a street. El Ghoureya is a funerary complex for the second-to-last Mamluk sultan, El Ghouri. What makes this complex so different from anything else on the street is that it’s situated on both sides of Moez Street, with a wooden roof above connecting the two sides. It’s home to a mosque, mausoleum and religious school, but the main thing you’ll see are all the modern stalls and vendors peddling all kinds of clothes and textiles. Al-Ghouri Mausoleum While Al-Ghuri himself was never buried in his mausoleum, several others were prior to the sultan's death. The first was a daughter of his in 1505, followed by his son, Nasir al-Din Muhammad, age thirteen, and by one of his concubines. The latter two were victims of the plague. In 1510, al-Ghuri also had the three year old daughter of his secretary of State, Tumanbay, buried here.
