I’m from the Nur Ashki Jerrahi Sufi order in the United States. I was wondering how to find the Sufi orders of Cairo, any advice on if there is Dikhr or services happening or how to locate the orders in Cairo would be fantastic.
Salaam,

Salaam dear Sarah,
Ramadan Kareem! there are so many Sufi orders in Egypt. There are Dhikrs in Al-Rifa’i Mosque (Al-Rifa’iyyah), in Al-Hussayn Mosque (Al-Shadhiliyya order) usually after Friday prayers. These are two of the largest orders in Egypt.
I think the article attached can give you an overview (http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/32/99/53675/Folk/Special-Files/Sufi-orders-and-their-origins.aspx)
