A 14th Century mosque on a beautiful river estuary. A stunning place to take a walk, and sit and admire the view with a picnic and some drinks. Best to go at sunset, weekdays.
Ancient mosque on the beach at the river mouth. Interesting history and stunning place.
Historically ancient mosque that built and used by early Arab merchants for prayers as they toured the East Coast in the 14th Century, Kongo Mosque is said to be the oldest mosque in Eastern Africa.
