The inner and outer walls of the tomb are plastered with continuous white cement mortar. Inside the tomb are two graves of members of the Halveti order, the grave of Dervish Avdi and the grave of Dervish Ahmat, which are covered with boards and above them with covers and towels. The floor inside the tomb is paved with ceramic tiles. The door and the windows are of wood in arched form. In total there are two wooden window openings, closed on the outside with iron grilles. One is on the front facade, next to the entrance door, and the other is on the side facade and has a small opening where believers throw money. The roof is hipped, covered with flat tiles.
Access to the tomb is from the northeastern wall through the wooden entrance door. Within the tomb grounds there is the courtyard with the graves, a rest corner (wooden seats), the many-year-old oak tree (bungu) and a new fountain.
