Al-Salihiyah (Arabic: الصَّالِحِيَّة, romanized: aṣ-Ṣāliḥiyya) is a municipality and neighborhood of Damascus, Syria. It lies to the northwest of the old walled city of Damascus and about 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) southeast of the Citadel, at the foot of Mount Qasioun.[2] The quarter is famous as a resting place of venerated Islamic scholars, such as the mystic Sufi scholar and philosopher Ibn Arabi and the Hanabila Mosque. Further to the south, it also houses the Syrian Parliament building.
