The Mosque of Khushqadam el-Ahmadi is on el-Seyufia Street in Cairo and was built in 1366. The building was originally the palace of Emir Tashtimur. The building became a mosque in the late 15th century. In 1498, the eunuch Amir Khushqadam el-Ahmadi was stripped of his wealth and rank and exiled to Sudan, where he died.{{cite book|title=Islamic Monuments in Cairo: The Practical Guide|last=Williams|first=Caroline|year=2002|pages=118|publisher=The American University in Cairo Press}}
