Dar al-Anmat

Dar al-Anmat was a house in Fustat in Egypt. Women's cloth, fine clothing and goods were sold there, brought from every land. ¹

Ibn Fadl Allah al-Umari says that idle and leisure-seeking people would sit at its shops. He counted it among the wonders of buildings and the marvels of monuments. ¹

Al-Maqrizi says that Amir Rukn al-Din Baybars al-Jashnakiri bought a house known as Dar al-Anmat in Cairo, at the head of al-Jawdariyya street, demolished it, and built Baybars's qaysariyya on its site ².

He says that the market of the Anmatiyyin in Cairo takes its name from this trade ³.

Al-Umari places the house in Fustat, and al-Maqrizi places the house known by this name in Cairo. The location is not settled here, and both texts are given as they stand.
