The sabil-kuttab of Nafisa al-Bayda was built in 1796 by Nafisa al-Bayda, the wife of Ali Bey al-Kabir and later of Murad Bey. It was part of a charitable group of buildings that also included a wikala, two bathhouses and lodgings for the poor. The sabil has a curved front with three windows behind metal grilles, and a kuttab above. It stands beside Bab Zuwayla at the southern end of al-Muizz Street.
