1396 CE to 1539 CE

The Mamluk sultans of Egypt, successors to the Ayyubids, rule from the Nile to the Euphrates by the fourteenth century, after repelling repeated invasions by Mongols from the north.

Their great citadels and monuments still stand, although Timur's destruction of much of Damascus in 1402 seriously damages such edifices as the Great Umayyad Mosque.

The Ottoman sultan in Turkey defeats the Mamluks at Aleppo in 1516 and makes Syria a province of a new Muslim empire.
