Domes · Northern courtyard beside Faisal Gate
An open Ottoman pavilion associated with gatherings for devotional remembrance. [1]
This square, open-sided pavilion stands beside Faisal Gate. Its mihrab faces south. Awqaf records the existing structure in the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, in 1233 AH. [1]
Its Arabic name refers to Sufi worshippers who gathered for dhikr, or devotional remembrance. The alternative name Iwan Sultan Mahmud identifies the patronage of the building rather than another monument. [1]
