The Zawiya of `Abd al-Rahman Katkhuda (1729): The first work of this prolific patron, it carries the signs of the baroque style that will characterize and distinguish his buildings.
The Sabil-Kuttab of `Abd al-Rahman Katkhuda (1744): An imposing structure in the middle of the main artery, al-Qasaba, this is the most beautiful blending of Mamluk and Ottoman elements in an 18th c. Cairene monument.
The Mosque of Muhammad Bey Abu al-Zahab (1774): All that remains of a great complex built next to al-Azhar Mosque, this central-domed structure is a copy of Sinan Pasha mosque with a major omission: the minaret. This mosque's minaret seems to be consciously shaped after the late Mamluk minaret of al-Ghuri in the al-Azhar Mosque.
The Suheimi House (1648 and 1796): Perhaps the largest and best preserved house in Ottoman Cairo, this abode of another head of the Merchants' Guild is also in the commercial center of the city. With its seven qa`as and pleasant courtyard and garden, it represents the most elaborate example of the accretive nature of Cairene grand houses. Qa`as seem to have been built at different stages in various corners around the courtyard to accommodate the growth of the extended family but the overall separation between the men and women section is maintained throughout.
The Sinnari House (1798): The house of a Mamluk amir which was confiscated by Napoleon and turned into the French Institute. It is a typical Cairene Ottoman house with a maq`ad, a qa`a for men, and a haramlik with a major qa`a.
Takhtabush: A ground level alcove open onto the court whose ceiling is supported by a column. It was the waiting space for low-ranking visitors.
Malqaf: An equivalent of Badhahanj (wind-catcher) which was used in Cairo, whose volume was that of an entire iwan section in a qa`a.
