Haji Ali Mosque

Situated 1,500 feet off of Mumbai’s shores, in the middle of the Arabian Sea, this early 20th-century mosque is dedicated to Iranian saint Haji Ali Shah Bukhari, who is celebrated for spreading knowledge about Islam and rests in a white marble tomb within. The pathway leading to the mosque can only be used in low tide, as high tides and heavy monsoon rain often submerge it in water. The exterior of the mosque, along with its miniarets and domes, is lit nightly.
