The Mausoleum of Allal al-Qairawani is a darīh, zawiya, and ribat dedicated to Allal al-Qairawani in Casablanca, Morocco.[1] [2] [3]

The mausoleum became a destination for fishermen.[4]

History

Legend tells that Allal al-Qairawani was a trader who came from Qairawan to Anfa (Casablanca) around 1350 during the reign of the Marinid Sultan Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Othman and settled to do business along with his wife or daughter "Lalla Baida" (White Lady).[5] The Mausoleum of Allal al-Qairawani is considered the oldest of the zawiyas of Casablanca, as those such as that of Sidi Belyout are much more recent.

The Mausoleum of Allal al-Qairawani was renovated in 2016, after which King Muhammad VI made a visit.[6]

Architecture

The mausoleum's architectural style is typical of traditional Moroccan architecture.
