Reached by a winding causeway that vanishes below the waves at high tide, this historic shrine commemorates Haji Ali, the Muslim saint whose body allegedly washed up on the shores of Back Bay in the 19th century. The causeway is lined with hawkers selling religious paraphernalia, and beggars seeking alms from pilgrims. Non-Muslims are welcome to enter the Dargah, which rings with devotional music, but photography is prohibited.

<i><b>(Closed at high tide)</b></i>&nbsp;&nbsp;Daily 5am-10pm
