Aḥmad el-Badawī (Egyptian Arabic: أحمد البدوى, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [ˈæħmæd elˈbædæwi]), also known as Elsayyid Elbadawī (السيد البدوى [esˈsæjjed elˈbædæwi]), or as Elsayyid for short, or reverentially as Elsayyid Elbadawi by Sufi Muslims who venerate saints,[3] was a 13th-century Arab[3] Sufi Muslim mystic who became famous as the founder of the Badawiyyah order of Sufism. Born in Fes, Morocco to a Bedouin tribe originally from the Syrian Desert,[3][4] al-Badawi eventually settled for good in Tanta, Egypt in 1236, whence he developed a posthumous reputation as "One of the greatest saints in the Arab world"[5][3] As al-Badawi is perhaps "the most popular of Muslim saints in Egypt", his tomb has remained a "major site of visitation" for Muslims in the region.[6]
