Over the 5 day intensive workshop we will spend mornings drawing patterns followed by afternoon site visits to the most stunning Mamluk sites in and around Al Muizz street in the heart of Islamic Cairo.

This trip will also include extended visits to the famous medieval Sultan Hasan Mosque & Ibn Tulun Mosque, built in the 9th century.


There will be daily lessons in mamluk geometric and nabati (Arabesque) patterns and a talks by fabulous local specialists/historians. The course will include a traditional Wood Inlay and Joinery workshop with the talented @alyaa Using intricate interlocking of pieces to create complex geometric patterns without the use of nails or glue, then inlaying bone, ebony, and wenge, following techniques used in magnificent historic Mamluk minbars of Cairo.
