Summary
| Description |
English: Sabil-Kuttab of Katkhuda is one of the most important monuments in the old part of Islamic Cairo, Egypt. This building is an example of Ottoman and Mamluk architecture mixed with Islamic architecture. It was built in 1744 by a pioneer Egyptian architect, Katkhuda of Egypt ( 'Abd al Rahman Katkhuda' ). Some architects describe it as "The treasure of Ottoman architecture".
Sabil-Kuttab of Katkhuda is an important monument in Cairo, Egypt, located on Al-Muizz Lideenillah Street. Sabils and Kuttabs were almost everywhere in old Islamic Cairo during Mamluk and Ottoman times. Sabils are facilities providing free, fresh water for thirsty people who are passing by. Kuttabs are primitive kinds of elementary schools that teach children to read and write [Wikipedia.org] |
