Kitchen doorway at Tawahin es-Sukkar

These are the remains of the doorway to the kitchen where sugar would be boiled. A part of the kitchen, the maqam, would have been used as a mosque. When Tawahin es-Sukkar went out of use at the end of the Mamluk period, this maqam or mosque area may have become an Islamic shrine.
