In this episode of “On Show”, we explore the exhibition “Mamluks: Legacy of an Empire” with Fakhera Alkindi, Senior Curatorial Assistant at Louvre Abu Dhabi.

The Mamluks were once enslaved soldiers who rose to power and ruled over a vast empire stretching from Egypt to Syria between 1250 and 1517. Known for their military strength, they also fostered a golden age of cultural exchange and artistic achievement.

Join us for a guided walkthrough of this landmark exhibition, developed in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre, and discover the stories, people, and connections that shaped one of the Islamic world’s most influential dynasties.

The exhibition “Mamluks: Legacy of an Empire” is on show at Louvre Abu Dhabi from 17 September 2025 to 25 January 2026.
