About Grave of Ahmad al-Mutayyam

Sidi Ahmad al-Mutayyam is honoured in Alexandria as a descendant of Sayyiduna Ali Zayn al-Abidin. He was buried with three brothers in what are now the Shallalat Gardens, and when their remains were moved to the area of the Fourteen Shrines, his tomb stayed in place and a mosque grew around it. The mosque stands on Sultan Hussein Street, opposite the Shallalat Gardens, and has been renovated in recent years. His tomb lies inside under a glass-fronted enclosure, and the mosque is a popular place of prayer in the district.
