Square-based mausoleum topped by a splendid dome, housing a tomb protected by a wooden fence.

Founder of one of the four legal schools of Islam, Imam El-Shaféi was a man revered by Muslims. Salah ed-Din began construction of the Mausoleum in 1176, which his son completed in 1211. The building blends Ayyubid, Fatimid and Mamluk styles. The mausoleum, with its square base, is surmounted by a splendid painted dome, the two elements linked by gigantic muqarnas. The tomb is protected by a wooden fence donated by the Khedive Abbas.
