This oratory is located at the beginning of Al-Sayeda Aisha Street from Al-Qala'a Square, in the direction of Al-Khalifa Police Station, which was known in earlier times as the Sultanate Square in Romaila. Deceased persons were carried to establishments like this one to be washed according to Islamic custom and to be prepared for burial. They could then receive the funerary prayers. The oratory is an indication of the harmony of this aspect of Islamic society in Egypt.
