Al Zaghir Mosque, Haifa

Al Zaghir Mosque

Located near the market lanes of Haifa's old town, this mosque dates back to the late Ottoman era of the 18th century. Visitors typically stop here to view its architectural features, specifically the combination of the minaret and the clock tower, which serve as landmarks within the downtown area.

Getting There

The mosque is situated in the heart of downtown Haifa. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short walk or a brief taxi ride, typically taking less than 10 minutes depending on your exact starting point.

Duration of Visit

Since the site is primarily viewed from the exterior while exploring the surrounding streets, allow approximately 20 to 30 minutes for a visit.

When to Visit

The mosque is best visited during daylight hours to clearly see the clock tower and minaret. As it is located in a commercial district, the surrounding market lanes are most active during standard business days. Be mindful of prayer times, as the area around the entrance may become more crowded.
