Address :  23 Street of Sidi Ben Arous

This tourbat is right next to the mausoleum of Sheikh Ahmed Ben Arous but its entrance used to be in Impasse achammaiya which makes the corner of Souk al-Balghajiya and rue al-jeloud. This is where Princess Aziza Othmana is buried along with her father Mohamed, her grand-father Abu al-Abbas Ahmed and her great grand-father Othman Dey (d. 1019 H/1610 AD) who built the tourba bearing his name. Recently the wall separating the tourba from the sepulchral room of Zaouia Sidi Ahmed Ben Arous has been torn down so that visitors can access the tourba from rue Sidi Ben Arous. Among the acts of charity of this illustrious lady is her decision to leave all her belongings as a habous for the poor and the needy. She also left another habous specifically so that a bunch of flowers is deposited on her grave every morning at sunup.
