Zaouia of Sidi Brahim Riahi, Religious monument in Medina, Tunis, Tunisia.

The mausoleum features a central courtyard with visitor rooms, leading to an oratory covered by a decorated dome and housing sacred tombs.

Ahmed I Bey ordered the construction of this monument to accommodate the Sufi brotherhood led by Sidi Brahim Riahi in the 19th century.

The mausoleum serves as both a spiritual center and educational site, continuing the traditions of Islamic learning established by Sidi Brahim Riahi.

Visitors can find the mausoleum at 11 Rue Sidi Brahim in the Medina of Tunis, near Dar Lasram and the El Hafsia district.

In 1878, Sadok Bey brought craftsmen from Morocco to enhance the mausoleum with intricate stucco work and architectural details.
