The Last Look From above one of the tombs of Greater Cairo, a large man stands on the roof of one of the tombs, looks around it and sees the last remaining tombs of old Cairo. The Mamluk Qarafa, Mamluk cemetery, Mamluk tombs, caliphs' tombs, Qaitbay desert, eastern Qarafa or Mamluk desert are the area extending from Qalaat al-Jabal to Abbasiya in eastern Cairo. The area of the Mamluk tombs was originally a training field for the Mamluks, called the Field of Al-Qabq, which is a wide field with a tower with a ball in the middle, where a person quickly turns on his horse and hits the ball. With time, the Mamluk sultans began to build palaces for themselves, such as Sultan Qaitbay, who built a palace, a school and a mosque, and then the works of the rest of the sultans spread. This area was not called (Qarafa al-Mamluk), until the late Ottoman era, when Imran al-Qabanat extended to it, and completely surrounded it." Among the most prominent landmarks in the Mamluk desert area are the Sultan Barquq Mosque and Khanqah, the Sultan Al-Ashraf Barsbay Mosque and Khanqah, the Sultan Qaitbay Mosque and its annexes, the Dome of Jani Bey Al-Ashrafi, the Dome of Korkmas, the Quarter of Qaitbay, and the Hospice of Ahmed Abu Seif.
