It was Hülegü Khan's intention to continue marching southwest towards Cairo to fight the Mamluk Sultanate in Egypt. He sent a threatening letter to the Mamluk Sultan Qutuz in Cairo, demanding that Qutuz surrender Cairo to the Mongols or it would be brutally razed as Baghdad and Damascus had been.
However, Hülegü was unable to fulfill this promise. The reason was that when the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire died, all of the potential new Great Khans needed to come to a great meeting in Mongolia called the kurultai. Since the recently deceased Great Khan was Möngke, Hülegü's brother, Hülegü was required to attend the kurultai. As a result, he departed for the kurultai in Mongolia and left behind only two tumens (20,000 men) in Syria under the leadership of his favorite general Naiman Kitbuqa Noyan. The Mamluks in Egypt and the lower Levant were able to ally and defeat these two remaining tumens in the Battle of Ain Jalut before Hülegü could return to the Middle East. (Hülegü's brother Kublai became the next Great Khan.)
