For the 13th-century Kurdish tribe, see Qaymariyya (tribe).
Al-Qaymariyya (Arabic: القيمرية) is a quarter of the Old City of Damascus. It is located in the center of the Old City, bordering the eastern wall of the Umayyad Mosque.[1] It had a population of 4,034 in the 2004 census.[2]
Al-Qaymariyya was named after the Ayyubid-Kurdish[3] emir Naser ad-Din al-Hussein bin Abdul Aziz al-Qaymari al-Kurdi who built "Al-Qaymariyya Grand School" there.[4][5] In the late 19th century and early 20th century, al-Qaymariyya was a middle-class, residential neighborhood, primarily home to Damascus businessmen.[6] In the 1936 French Mandate census, Qaymariyya had a population of 5,817 Muslims and 241 Christians.[7]
