Moulay Tayeb Al-Darqawi (aka Mawlāy at-Tayyib ad-Darqāwī) was the son of the renowned Moroccan Sufi leader Muhammad Al-Arabi Al-Darqawi (1760–1823). It would be more accurate to refer to this structure as the Mausoleum or Shrine of Moulay Tayeb Al-Darqawi, however, on most maps, it is commonly identified simply by his name.
