Nice, but the area needs more attention

The mausoleum of the tree of the pearl is one of the mosques that were established during the era of the Ayyubid state in Egypt. It is located in the Caliph Department in Cairo and is attributed to Shajarat Al-Durr.The mausoleum is built of bricks and is interspersed with half-tree palm trees, and it is similar to the shrine of the caliphs in terms of external decoration, but it is slightly larger in terms of area as each of its sides is approximately 7 meters long from the inside and three of its sides are in the middle of a door, as is the case in the scene of Yahya al-Shabihi and the Abbasid caliphs . The fourth side on the southeast side contains the mihrab. The doors are rectangular and surmounted by a wooden lintel surmounted by a clavicle arch.

It is located in Al-Ashraf Street, in the Al-Khalifah area, near the Mosque of Sayyida Ruqayya, Mrs. Sakina and Mrs. Nafisa
