Haji Ali

It was built in 1431 by a wealthy Muslim merchant and Sufi saint, Pir Haji Ali Shah Bukhari, who was inspired to change the course of his life after a trip to Mecca. It also houses his body. Located in the middle of the ocean, Haji Ali is accessible only during low tide via a narrow 500-yard-long causeway. Of the many pilgrimages for Muslims in India, Haji Ali is one of the most famous. You will not only be drawn to the intricate Indo-Islamic style architecture, but also amazed by the sheer number of people every day. This increases especially on weekends.
