Mandhry Mosque, the oldest mosque in Mombasa, was completed in 1570 and features a picturesque minaret. The Basheikh Mosque allegedly dates back to around 1300 but this is not confirmed. Memon Mosque is traditional, yet modern with lofty minarets. The historic Dawoodi Bohra Mosque, built in 1902, stands on the top of a cliff with a view of the old harbor. There is also a beautiful Baluchi mosque, founded in 1875.
