Nur al-Din Bimaristan (Arabic: البيمارستان النوري ) is a large Muslim medieval bimaristan ("hospital") located in the al-Hariqa quarter of Damascus, Syria. It was built and named after the Zengid Sultan Nur ad-Din in 1154. An extension was added to the main building in 1242 by physician Badr al-Din. The hospital was restored in 1975 and now houses the Museum of Medicine and Science in the Arab World.
The construction of Nur al-Din Bimaristan took place in two phases. The first phase was commissioned by Nur al-Din in 1154 CE, and the second phase was commissioned by physician Badr al-Din around 1242 CE. In 1975, the hospital was renovated and a small museum was established.
