Khanqah-Sabil-Kuttab of Saad al-Din bin Ghurab (خانقاه-سبيل-كتاب سعد الدين بن غراب) was established by Judge Saad al-Din Ibrahim bin Abd al-Razzaq bin Ghurab al-Iskandarani during the Burji Mamluk era, between 1400 and 1406 AD (803–808 AH).[1] [2] It is located on Darb el-Gamamiz Street in the Sayyida Zeinab neighborhood in Cairo. Its layout consists of an irregular rectangular area, in the middle of which is an open court surrounded by four iwans, the largest of which is the Qibla iwan, and a group of Sufi retreats were attached to it.[3]
