Abstract
The handover of caliphate to Ottoman Empire with the conquest of Egypt in 1517 enabled Ottoman Empire to increase its influence on Muslims and increase its political effect. On the other way, the conquest of Egypt suppressed the hegemony of Western countries on trade routes and constituted an important effect to rule Mediterranean Sea. In various settlement of Egypt which had been ruled by governors appointed from Istanbul more than 400 years, especially in Cairo, Ottomans built various buildings in different architectural styles. It is possible to identify various works from literature to architecture when detailed analysis is carried out. There are very important epigraphic examples in architectural works built in those days. Extant epigraphic materials of Tolunids, Ayyubids, Mamelukes and the development of inscriptions written in Arabic alphabet during the reign of Ottoman Empire in Egypt will be analyzed
