Not only is this a historic and important place for Muslim visitors, but it also overlooks the seasonal salt lake where crowds of flamingos spend their winter. Look for flamingos and other birds when the lake fills during the brief rainy season. (November-April). If you plan on entering the mosque grounds, dress appropriately. (shorts and bare shoulders are not acceptable) Ladies will need a scarf to cover their heads.

Number one on the things to do list for those seeking some nature just outside Larnaca city is the serenely beautiful Hala Sultan Tekke. This mosque and shrine sits on the western side of Larnaca's Salt Lake, three kilometers west of central Larnaca. An important place of pilgrimage for Muslims, this mosque honors the prophet Muhammad's wet-nurse, Umm Haram, who is said to have died at this site after falling from her donkey, and a shrine was dedicated over her tomb in AD 645. The present mosque building was built by the Ottomans and dates to 1816. Larnaca's Salt Lake is a nature reserve and in spring, large flocks of flamingos and ducks can be easily seen. Dung summer, the waters evaporate completely, leaving a crusty white layer of shimmering salt in their place. The area is ringed by a walking trail, which also leads to the Hala Sultan Tekke and makes a lovely afternoon stroll. Due to Larnaca's rather chaotic public transport system, it's easiest to get to the lake and the mosque by your own transport
