Mandhry Mosque is a mosque in the old town of Mombasa. It is the oldest mosque in Mombasa,[1] and the second-oldest in Kenya.
It was built by Omani settlers in 1570 (977-978 AH), and has continually been kept by the Mandhry clan of Mombasa for centuries.
It is built in the Swahili architectural style, with a rounded minaret, and is one of only two mosques in the world with two mihrabs.[2]
History
[edit]Despite the rise of the Shafi school of Islam among Omanis on the Swahili Coast in the 16th century, Ibadi was still popular, which is reflected in the Mandhry Mosques Ibadi style.
The mosque was renovated in 1988.[3]
