Burhan café, close to Al-Hussain Mosque. Burhan is one of the first cafés designated to Sufis in Egypt. Most of the customers who frequent the café are followers of Al-Burhaniya al-Disuqiya, a Sufi order that originated in Egypt, spread to Sudan, and later returned to Egypt in a more diverse form. The owner has hung pictures of various Sudanese Sufi masters on the café’s walls, most importantly Sayidi Fakhr al-Din, who spread Sufi beliefs as far as Germany.
