The artistic impacts of Egypt's foreign relations on cairo’s religious architecture under the reigns of al-Naṣir Muḥammad

Abstract EN

The development of peaceful well established foreign relations between different nations increases the awareness of intercultural influences along with enhancing useful exchanges between different culture groups.

During many phases of its Islamic history, especially during the Mamluk period, Egypt had enjoyed a solid foreign policy with different States and political entities around the world.

In this context, Art Historians could effectively underscore and analyze the different innovated architectural elements and decorative arts that were imported to Cairo from foreign nations, especially during the Mamluk period.

This criterion is believed to contribute to revealing more substantial information about the artistic life in medieval Egypt.

This study attempts to show professionals and student Tour-Guides how to use a comprehensive criterion in historically rooting different foreign artistic elements that were ushered in Mamluk architecture.
