Khanqah of Baybars II

The Khanqah of Baybars II is a medieval building located on historic Sharia Gamaliya in Cairo, Egypt.

It was built between 1306 and 1310 in the medieval Islamic Cairo to accommodate four hundred Sufis and children of the Mamluk Sultanate.

Baibars al-Jashankir (Arabic: بيبرس الجاشنكير) or Baibars II (d.1310, Cairo) (royal name: al-Malik al-Muzaffar Rukn al-Din Baibars al-Jashankir al-Mansuri; Arabic: الملك المظفر ركن الدين بيبرس الجاشنكير المنصورى) (Nickname: Abu al-Fath (Arabic: أبوالفتح)), was known as al-gashankir, "the taster", a court position he held at one point.

Within the confines of the irregular site, the various functions of the Khanqah were interwoven into an architecturally rich building complex.

The minaret, capped with a ribbed dome that was once covered with green faience tiles, is located on the south side of the building.
