Qubbat Afandina
Qubbat Afandina (Arabic: قبة أفندينا; meaning: "the Dome of Our Sir"),[1] the Mausoleum of Khedive Tawfiq, is a 19th-century monument located in the Afifi area on the eastern edge of the Northern Cemetery of Mamluk Necropoli of Cairo, Egypt.
Description
The mausoleum was built in 1894 by the Khedive Abbas II of Egypt (1874–1944), in memory of his father Khedive Tawfiq Pasha who died in 1892. It was designed by the khedival royal court architect Dimitrius Fabricius Pasha (1847–1907),[2] in a Neo-Mamluk architectural style.[3][4]
Qubbat Afandina is the resting place of many members of the royal family of Muhammad Ali Pasha, including: Khedive Tewfiq Pasha (1852–1892), Princess Bamba Qadin[5](?–1871), Princess Emina Ilhamy (1858–1931)[citation needed], and her son Khedive Abbas II.
