The Tomb of Shaykh Ali al-Harawi is located in the Salihin neighborhood. It is named after Ali ibn Abi Bakr al-Harawi who died in the first quarter of the thirteenth century.1 Harawi is best known for authoring a book on pilgrimage sites titled Kitab al-Isharat ila ma'rifat al-ziyarat.

The structure is simple: an entrance portal on the north side of the building gives onto a corridor that leads to a back courtyard. A rectangular vaulted room is located off the entrance corridor to the east. A large stone cenotaph with Arabic inscriptions in the courtyard indicates the resting place of the shaykh.
