The Haji Ali Shrine.
You can’t tell from this picture, but to reach the shrine you have to walk a very long distance on a narrow jetty, out through sea marsh, onto a promontory, and the path often floods over and makes access or return impossible.
The dried and steamy sea marsh, the crowded open fires and run down food stalls, the most in number, most aggressive and most pitiful looking beggars, the destitute families living on the path itself – it was a challange. Of everywhere I went this was the only place I would say you have consider if you are up to it before you choose to include the Haji Ali Shrine on your tour.
