The mausoleum of the famous Muslim saint, Haji Ali is
located opposite the Mahalakshmi racecourse in
Mumbai
. Set 500 yards into the sea, it stands in isolation and is a splendid,
which can be visited only at low tide. The mosque and tomb give the
impression that they are floating out at sea during high tide as the
connecting causeway is submerged in water. It is believed that the saint
drowned here while on his way to Mecca and this tomb and mosque were built
to commemorate his death.
As this mausoleum is situated in Mumbai, it is easily accessible from any part of the city. The nearest railway station is Mahalaxmi (Western Railway). Tourists can also take city buses from any point of the city to reach Hazi Ali Dargah.
Accommodation is available at the various hotels in Mumbai .
