The article

Journeys takes Sultan Qait Bay all over Egypt, to Syria and all the way to Euphrates. Merchants from Venice, Genoa and Catalonia had to come to him as he controlled the spice trade between the Orient and Europe. When the Portuguese found the sea route to India around Africa, the capital of the spice trade move from Cairo to Lisbon.

During the last years of Qait Bay's reign, a great plague swept through Cairo and it's recorded that on one day only, 12000 people died. His only wife and daughter died as well, and in deep sorrow he passes away in 1496, over 80 years old.
