. . . . . "The Burji dynasty (Arabic: \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0645\u0627\u0644\u064A\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0631\u062C\u064A\u0629\u200E) was a Circassian Mamluk dynasty which ruled Egypt from 1382 until 1517, during the Mamluk Sultanate. It proved especially turbulent, with short-lived sultans. Political power-plays often became important in designating a new sultan. During this time Mamluks fought Timur Lenk and conquered Cyprus. Constant bickering may have contributed to the ability of the Ottomans to challenge them."@en .
