Founded in 668 AH (1268-1269 AD) by Sultan al-Malik al-Zahir Baybars as recorded in the inscription at the entrance to the shrine the construction of this mausoleum was part of a political project aiming at reinforcing Muslim holy sites in a region that had been under the control of the crusaders for more than one hundred years.
