ولاة مصر في العصر العباسي

The Abbasid era in Egypt was marked by frequent changes in governors due to the caliphate's weakness and the distance from the capital. The Abbasids implemented a policy of granting land to individuals who would pay a tribute. Turkish leaders often stayed in Baghdad, delegating power to deputies who managed the provinces. This led to some governors, like Ahmad ibn Tulun, gaining independence, resulting in the formation of the Tulunid state, the first independent Islamic state in Egypt.
