The Zawiya of Sidi Sahib,[1][2] also known as the Zawiya of Abu al-Balawi or Mosque of the Barber,[3] is a zawiya (religious shrine and complex) in Kairouan, Tunisia. Its origins date to the early era of the city's history, but the current complex largely dates to a major renovation and expansion in the 17th century. It is one of the most important religious sites in the city.[4]
