Visit the 12th-century Fatimid Mausoleum and Minaret of Abu al-Ghadanfar (Sidi Mu'adh) in Cairo.
Historical Overview
Primarily dating to 1157 CE (552 AH), this Fatimid mausoleum—popularly known as the Tomb of Sidi Mu'adh—is renowned for preserving one of the rare surviving Fatimid minarets in Cairo. While some sources vaguely attribute a later 15th-century madrasa addition to the same patron, this presents a chronological conflict.
