Hassan Bek Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Manshiah district, Tel Aviv, Israel
Description
Hassan Bek Mosque is an Islamic place of worship in the Manshiah district, standing between the Mediterranean Sea and modern buildings with white limestone walls and narrow piers on its facades. The structure creates a quiet contrast to the busy surroundings and occupies a prominent position in the urban landscape.
History
The building was commissioned in 1916 by Governor Hassan Bek and marked the northern boundary between Jaffa and Tel Aviv during World War I. The minaret was later reconstructed with funding from Jordan and Saudi Arabia, doubling its original height.
Culture
The mosque remains a gathering place for the Muslim community of Jaffa, serving as a space for prayer and religious observance within the modern urban landscape. You can observe devotees arriving for daily prayers and witness Islamic traditions being maintained in this setting.
Practical
The mosque is located on Ha'Yarkon Street and can be easily reached on foot, with Dolphinarium Beach and the Old Train Station within walking distance. Visitors should respect prayer times and dress appropriately when visiting, particularly during active worship periods.
Did you know?
The minaret was substantially redesigned and stands roughly twice the height of its original form, a visible result of international support for its reconstruction. This transformation makes it a distinctive landmark in Tel Aviv's skyline.
