The Tomb of Salar and Sangar al-Gawli is a historic funerary and religious complex located in Cairo, Egypt. It was built on the slopes of the hill called Gabal Yashkur (Jabal Yashkur) and overlooks the historic Saliba Street. The complex contains the tombs of Sayf al-Din Salar and A'lam al-Din Sanjar al-Jawli, who were Mamluk emirs in the 14th century. Its notable architectural features include the decoration of the mausoleum chambers, the minaret, and the unique carved stone screens between the mausoleum access corridor and the outer courtyard. Currently, the complex is abandoned and in poor condition.
