الملخص EN

The Mamluk era had a prominent position, in the eras of Islamic history, where the mamluks' authority and military rule were a natural consequence of the dangers that befell the Muslim word.

moreover, the mamluk era was an era of wealth and wide prosperity because of the control of the mamluk power in the global trade between east and west.

the mamluk sultans gave the Hijaz, in general, and the holy places, in particular, their care and attention as an important pillar highlighting the religious aspects of their policy.

in this research, we shed light on the food financing of Makkah in the era of the Circassian mamluks between (784-922h/1382- 1517), where Makkah had a distinct environment different from most of the countries of the Arabian Peninsula were surrounded by mountains and it is predominantly hot throughout the year, making it unsuitable for agriculture.

as a result, Makkah relied on food sources from the people of neighboring villages such as Mur valley, and Nahla valley, as well as Taif, which has been known since ancient times as the main source in providing Makkah with fruits.

in addition, Makkah relied on external sources coming from Egypt, Ethiopia, and India, whether coming by land or sea, so Makkah had become a thriving market.

the revival of the economic life in Makkah had affected the well-being, and items had spread.

on the other hand, there were economic crises that played a role in cutting food to the people of Makkah resulting in drought on the one hand and on the other hand rising prices for foodstuffs.
