Shrine of Mustafa al-Bakri

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

A free-standing structure standing off-centre within a huge, roughly rectangular enclosure containing numerous stone tomb-markers and including a tract of rooms by its southern wall and a disused building in the north-western part. Apparently originally an open-sided canopy built of stone and consisting of square, undecorated pillars supporting semi-circular arches and covered with a dome of a pointed profile. The walls are topped with a very simple cornice and fleur-de-lys crenellations. The canopy has been walled up to the level of the springing of the arches, forming semi-circular windows above the walls. Both these windows and the window in the northern wall have modern iron grilles. The walls are faced with stone cladding, with a simple flat frieze in the interior. Otherwise, the building is undecorated. The Shaykh’s wooden [?] cenotaph in the centre of the room is covered with red cloth. The entrance is in the southern wall. A nondescript modern shaded sitting area covered with a concrete slab has been added as a vestibule to the south of the shrine.
