Haji Ali Dargah

Perched on a tiny islet off the coast of Mumbai, the Haji Ali Dargah is a stunning example of Indian architecture, blending Islamic and Indo-Islamic styles. This 15th-century shrine was built in 1431 by Sayyed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari, a wealthy merchant from Bukhara. The best time to visit is during low tide, allowing visitors to walk to the dargah. As the sun sets, the shrine takes on a mystical aura. Tips: wear modest clothing, remove shoes before entering, and be respectful of worshippers. With its rich history and breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea, Haji Ali Dargah is a must-visit attraction in Mumbai. Visit during weekdays to avoid crowds and make the most of your spiritual experience.
