Need to share a border or have borders 1 sea province away to fabricate a claim. You can utilize vassal claims if any are available. If Mamluks are allied with someone you do have a claim/CB on, you can DOW them and set Mamluks as co-belligerents. If you are strong enough, you can chain co-belligerents as needed: Morocco-Tunis-Mamluks as an example.

That is awesome I did not think to use the cobelligerent system that way. One thought I had I have never used it so I do not know does the defender of the faith let me do anything? I had some crusade bonus for something in the game but was not sure what caused it.

Defender of faith gives certain bonuses, depending on number of countries sharing that religion, but also a downside, as it acts like a guarantee to every same religion nation against heathens/heretics.
Crusades must be called for by the curia controller, but then any catholic nation gets a bonus while fighting the target.

You can snake by going to sicily, fabricating on tripoli then fabricating on cyrencia

At the start of the game the mameluks have a guarantee over Cyprus. Cyprus often allies some Christian nations in Italy (Venice) if you cobelligerate Cyprus they will call in the Mameluks.

Mare nostrum (or was it wealth of nations?) trade leagues also mean as an opm, Cyprus will likely end up in Venice or Genoa's trade league

If you are early game, you could use the age ability to fabricate claim next to a claim. You can do a chain this way up to the mameluk. Either island hoping and passing by crete or by the magreb, check whats the faster in your situation.
