Description (The direction towards Mecca (Qibla) is described as eastern and other directions are named accordingly)

A small rectangular enclosure measuring ca 10.5 x 4 metres, with the entrance gate in the northern wall.
The back (southern) part of the lot is taken up by a rectangular room that opens onto a front courtyard with a wide round-arched opening. The arch has no architectural decoration; its voissoirs are painted in imitation of ablaq masonry. The entrance is a rather simple two-leaved wrought iron openwork gate of Art Nouveau- inspired patterns, placed asymmetrically in the stone front wall. The right (western) side of the front courtyard is a narrow flower bed. In the middle of the courtyard is an opening of a crypt covered with concrete slabs, and to the east of it a modern brick-built uninscribed tomb marker. In the burial liwan, there is a simple undecorated and uninscribed marble tomb marker, with placements for shahid stelae that are missing. The walls of the liwan have colourful painted decoration. I consists of an imitation of multicolour stone dado in the lower part, inscription panels and roundels on the side walls, and an imitation of an inscribed lintel and a relieving arch over it over the rectangular window in the back wall, with calligraphic roundels to the sides of the window, which is fitted with a simple decorative wrought-iron grille. A painted medallion of geometric patterns is placed in the middle of the flat ceiling.
Attached to the east is a twin liwan, which is part of the neighbouring funerary enclosure marked by a modern plaque as belonging to the family of Muhammad Khalil. The original relation between the two structures is not clear.
