Temple, and the area also includes Byzantine, Fatimid and Mamluk monuments from the
era of Muhammad Ali, the researcher conducted Excavations that resulted in the discovery
of Al-Bawabzawiya.
The researcher discovered this zawiya in the summer of 1989. He was able - through the
excavation work, along with the document related to this zawiya - to identify all its
architectural components. As for the parts identified by the document, they are: the twostory

considered a unique model of zawiyyat architecture that includes several elements,
including the mosque and other religious annexes, as the zawiyas were religious and
