The Alhambresque style was later absorbed in the Ottoman world, in what Ussama Makdisi called "Ottoman Orientalism." Early use of Alhambresque motifs (such as sebka) is evident in buildings from the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz () in Istanbul, such as the monumental gate on Beyazıt Square (), now the entrance of Istanbul University. The mausoleum of Fuad Pasha (1869–70), who personally visited the Alhambra as Ottoman ambassador in 1844, is almost entirely in a "Moresque" style. The style was also employed in the Gezira Palace in Cairo, built to host royal guests for the 1869 opening of the Suez Canal. Khedive Isma'il even commissioned Owen Jones to design the interiors of this palace.
