Ahmad al-Badawi, also known as al-Sayyid al-Badawi, was a thirteenth century Arab Sufi mystic born to a Bedouin tribe originally from the Syrian Desert in Fes, Morocco, who became famous as the founder of the Badawiyyah order of Sufism. He settled permanently in Tanta, Egypt in 1236, where he developed a posthumous reputation as one of the greatest saints in the Arab world. Described as perhaps the most popular Sufi saint in Egypt, his tomb in Tanta remains a major site of visitation for Sufis in the region.
