DescriptionTomb of amir Sayf el-Din Salar and Sangar el-Gawli 02.jpg
English: Built in ca. 1303 CE, the funerary complex contains the joint mausoleums of Sayf el-Din Salar and Alam el-Din Sangar el-Gawli (or Sanjar al-Jawli), two powerful Mamluk emirs during the second and third reigns of al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawoon in the early 8th-century AH / 14th-century CE.
The complex is a landmark of Saliba Street, which extends from the Citadel to the Sayyida Zaynab roundabouts in modern-day Cairo. It is most notable for its two ribbed, onion-shaped, jelly-like domes, a hybrid architectural form combining influences from Egypt and Persianate and Turco-Mongol Central Asia, the native homeland of many Mamluk emirs and sultans..
Emir Sayf el-Din Salar (d. 1310) was a viceroy of al-Nasir Muhammad during his second reign (1299-1310), while Emir Sangar El-Gawli (d. 1345) served as Emir of Gaza and Palestine between 1311 and 1320, during al-Nasir's third reign (1310-1341). El-Gawli is also credited for the construction of the Al-Jawli Mosque in Hebron, Palestine, in ca. 1320. The mosque was adjacent to the Cave of the Patriarchs, to whose sanctuary it was later annexed. It is believed that the mosque was built over the tomb of Judah the fourth of the six sons of Jacob and Leah.
