Haji Ali Dargah
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat and crowds, and to catch softer golden light for photos; low tide makes the causeway easier and more atmospheric.
Budget tips
No entry fee, donations are welcome inside; avoid paying for boat rides and instead walk the causeway at low tide for a free approach.
Recommended for
Spiritual travelers, Photography enthusiasts, Cultural history fans, Solo and couple explorers

About
Raske fakta: A white mosque and shrine stand on a small, heart-shaped islet reached by a narrow stone causeway that disappears under high tide, creating dramatic sea views. People of many faiths visit daily, with crowds swelling to several thousand during Ramadan and on Thursday evenings.
Høydepunkter: A narrow causeway disappears under the sea twice each day, so the walk feels like a vanishing path laced with salt spray and the cries of passing gulls. Worshippers often circle the inner sanctum exactly seven times while tying colored threads to the railings, leaving hundreds of coins and rose petals that rattle like a drum when the tide rolls in.
Insider tips
- Dress modestly, cover shoulders and knees, and women may carry a light headscarf to enter the sanctum.
- Wear slip-on shoes because footwear must be left at the shoe counter before stepping onto the marble floor.
- Arrive before high tide for a dry, unobstructed walk along the causeway and better photos of the shrine silhouette.
- Avoid Fridays and major Islamic festivals when queues and waiting times increase; early weekdays are calmest.
