Hala Sultan Tekke, Ottoman mosque at Salt Lake, Larnaca, Cyprus

Hala Sultan Tekke is an Ottoman complex in Larnaca comprising a mosque, mausoleum, minaret, cemetery, and pilgrim lodgings located close to the shores of the city's salt lake. The buildings are surrounded by palm and cypress trees, offering a quiet view over the wide water surface and the flat landscape around.

Umm Haram, foster sister of Muhammad's mother, died in a fall from her mule during the Arab campaigns of 647–649 and was buried here. The dervish Sheikh Hasan built the first shrine over the tomb in 1760; the mosque, in classical Ottoman style, was completed in November 1817 under governor Seyyid Mehmed Emin Efendi. An Ottoman inscription above the garden gate is dated 4 March 1813.

Many visitors travel to this site specifically to honor Umm Haram and offer their prayers, while others use the peaceful setting by the salt lake to perform their devotions. The textiles covering the tomb are regularly renewed by believers who bring them as a sign of reverence, keeping the connection between the place and Islamic tradition alive.

Access is from the road connecting the site to the center of Larnaca, roughly 5 kilometers (3 miles) from downtown and close to the airport. Visitors should remove their shoes before entering the mosque, and women must cover their heads.

A legend holds that a black meteorite hangs suspended above Umm Haram's tomb, a story tied to the sanctity of the grave. The tomb itself stands behind the qibla wall of the mosque, and a further inscription dated 1760 is found there. Beside Umm Haram lie four other tombs, two of them those of former sheikhs.
