Sepia-toned illustration of a Middle Eastern cityscape. The scene features several buildings with domes and minarets. A large central building with a prominent dome is flanked by smaller structures with domes and towers. The buildings appear to be tombs or mosques. The foreground shows a flat, sandy area with some small rocks or mounds. A line of people and horses is visible on the right side. The sky above is hazy and light-colored. The illustration is set against a light-colored background. The text at the bottom reads "Tombs of the Mamlukes, Cairo".
