The Tomb of Salar and Sangar al-Gawli is a historic funerary and religious complex located in Cairo, Egypt.

[3] The complex was founded in 1303–4 by the amir (commander) Sangar al-Gawli (or Sanjar al-Jawli; Arabic: سنجر الجولي).

[1] Another small domed mausoleum, built in stone, is located at the western end of the complex and was added slightly later, in 1341.

[3] The cenotaph inside does not allow for the identification of the tomb's occupant,[3] though it was most likely Bashtak, another amir of al-Nasir Muhammad, who died in 1341 and was buried in this complex in 1347–8.

[1] Apart from the two mausoleums, the other hall attached to the complex may have served as either a madrasa for training Islamic scholars or a khanqah for Sufis.

[1] Bernard O'Kane argues that the founder most likely intended for prayers to be held within the building from the start, considering that it features a prominent minaret.

[5] Another report in 2018 noted that the building was being used by drug addicts at night, prompting safety concerns from local residents.

The entrance is a doorway reached by a steep staircase from the street and set within a relatively simple recess topped by muqarnas.

Their drums are pierced by a row of windows and above these are large inscription bands, executed in carved stucco, which wrap around the base of each dome.

Between the upper and lower parts of the mihrab, and running all around the entire walls of the chamber, is a horizontal band of very fine marble mosaic inlay with a motif consisting primarily of lozenges and teardrop-like polygons.

[3] Past the two main mausoleums, at the end of the access corridor, is small square chamber covered by a plain stone dome.

[1] The top edge of the courtyard's northwestern façade, fronting the mausoleums, features a decorative crenellations with a triple-leafed or vaguely fleur-de-lis-style shape, which was not previously in fashion.

[1][3] On the east side of this courtyard is slightly smaller and raised rectangular hall measuring 9.3 by 8.7 metres (31 by 29 ft).

[3] One unusual feature of the minaret, found elsewhere only in the Mosque of Emir Bashtak (1340), is a marked entrance portal at the bottom of its shaft, where one accesses the interior staircase that climbs to the top.

On one side of the lower tier is a window set within a trilobed frame flanked by colonnettes, rising above a projecting cornice or balcony of muqarnas.

On the other side is a round window set within a similar composition, but this time with a horseshoe-arch frame instead of a trilobed shape.

This style, often known as mabkhara, was new at the time but reappeared afterwards and eventually evolved into the more open lantern and finial design of later Mamluk minarets.
