The Mawlawi Museum in Cairo, along with the monumental presence of the Sunqur Sa’di Madrasa and the other archeological remains exhibited in the restored area of Shari Al-Siyufiyah are part of a great Complex which also includes the Sadaqa Mausoleum and the Yeshbak Palace.
The Mawlawi Complex has a great historical significance not only because it witnessed the end of the Mawlawi Sect, but also for its unique presence in Egypt as the only “Sama’Khana” (hall) where the Mawlawi Dervishes preformed their rituals. The Museum lies in a very popular area- near the “Qalaa” (Citadel)- between two narrow streets, Manah Al-Waqf and Es-Siyufiyah Street.
