14th century Egypt

The 14th century in Egypt was marked by political instability and the decline of the Mamluk Sultanate, which ruled since the 13th century. This period saw internal struggles, economic challenges, and the effects of the Black Death, which reduced the population and weakened the economy. Despite these challenges, Egypt remained a cultural center, known for its architecture, schools, and trade, connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa. The era also witnessed an increase in Sufi mysticism and the flourishing of Islamic arts. Overall, it was a time of transformation and resilience amidst adversity.
