Al-Asali (Arabic: العسالي) is a neighborhood and district of the Qadam municipality in Damascus, Syria.[1] [2] It had a population of 21,731 in the 2004 census.[3] The neighborhood was built around the small al-Asali maqam (shrine), named after Shaykh Ahmad al-Asali al-Khalwati, a local Muslim holy man.[4] The al-Asali shrine was a station in the annual Hajj pilgrim caravan, which came to an end in the early 20th century.[5] During the caravan procession, tents were set up around the shrine to host dignitaries and pilgrims before the caravan departed the city for Mecca.[5]
