Al-Rawda (Arabic: الروضة) is a village in the markaz of Bir al-Abed, in the North Sinai Governorate of Egypt.
It is a center of the Jaririya Sufi order, with the majority of the population following it (though that might have changed with recent migration),[1][2][3] and of the Sawarka tribe.
The Al-Rawda mosque and its zawiya was established in the winter of 1953-1954 by Eid Abu Jarir,[4][5] and it was expanded and a minaret added in about 1990.
However, the village has been heavily affected by the Sinai insurgency, first taking in displaced persons fleeing Sheikh Zuweid and Rafah, and then losing 22% of its male population in the 2017 Sinai mosque attack.
[7] The major local industries are a salt factory processing materials from nearby coastal salt works in Zaranik Protectorate on a sabkha of Lake Bardawil, and also agriculture.
