The sabil of Ruqayya Dudu was built in 1761 by Badawiyya Shahin in memory of her daughter Ruqayya Dudu, who passed away young. Ruqayya was a granddaughter of the Ottoman amir Radwan Katkhuda al-Julfi. Water was given out through the three windows of its curved facade, and a kuttab for children was built above. A painted wooden ceiling and carved stone decoration survive. It stands on Souq al-Silah Street, near Salah al-Din Square.
