  Predivno mjesto a puno hiistorije.
  
  Hala Sultan Tekke or the Mosque of Umm Haram is a Muslim shrine on the west bank of Larnaca Salt Lake, near Larnaca, Cyprus. Umm Haram was the wife of Ubada bin al-Samit, a companion of the Prophet Muhammed.
  
  Hala Sultan Tekke complex is composed of a mosque, mausoleum, minaret, cemetery, and living quarters for men and women. The term tekke applies to a building designed specifically for gatherings of a Sufi brotherhood, or tariqa, and may have referred to an earlier feature of the location. The present-day complex, open to all and not belonging to a single religious movement, lies in a serene setting on the shores of the Larnaca Salt Lake, which appears to be an important site also in prehistory. Hala Sultan Tekke is a listed Ancient Monument.

  Osiemnastowieczny meczet w pięknej scenerii. Na terenie meczetu mozna również podziwiać fragmenty antycznych zabudowań. Meczet jest jednym z najważniejszych dla muzułmanów na Cyprze. Legenda głosi że mieści się tu grób ciotki Mahometa.

  Мечеть является одной из значимых мусульманских святынь. Мечеть расположена в очень красивом месте и включена в экскурсионый тур достопримечательностей Ларнаки .
