The Farafira Khanqah is an Ayyubid khanqah of the thirteenth century in the al-Farafira quarter of Aleppo, built in the period when Dayfa Khatun governed the city. It is a fine example of the Sufi lodges founded in Aleppo under the Ayyubids and is now used as a mosque. The khanqah stands in the old quarter north of the citadel, close to the shrine of Imad al-Din Nasimi and the Uthmaniyya Madrasa, and a short walk from Bab al-Nasr.
