Al-Mawlawi Tekiya

The Al-Mawlawi Tekiya, located in Old Cairo near the Citadel, was built in the 17th century during the Ottoman period. It was home to the Mevlevi Sufi order, famous for their whirling dervishes' spiritual dances (Sama). The complex included living quarters, a mosque, and a Sama‘khana (hall for the ritual dance). Today, it stands as a cultural and historical monument that showcases Ottoman architecture and Egypt’s Sufi heritage. Description fr
