Adjacent or rather opposite of the Majestic Madrasah al Mansur Qalawun and on the south side of Mausoleum of al Salih Nagma al Din is Sabil-kuttab of Khusraw Pasha. It is the first Ottoman sabil-kuttab in Cairo built in 1535, but designed in the Mamluk style. The place is very clean and normally visitors will spend or stop for a while here to take their breath before continuing their walk.The builder Khusraw Pasha or Hüsrev Pasha was one of the most active builders among Ottoman governors. He constructed several masjid at Diyarbakir around 1519 – 1529; Sarajevo in 1532, and Van in 1567.
