Khalwat al-Bayada (
It features a large, circular, stone bench next to an ancient
Al-ʻuqqāl (the initiated) at various times of the year.[6] In 1838, copies of the Epistles of Wisdom were taken from the site by invading Egyptians.[3] Visitors are politely requested to seek permission from the resident sheikh
before entering the site and female visitors are requested to cover their heads as a courtesy.
