Read moreBeautifully set up facing the sea along the port road, a few meters from the main entrance of the souk, these beautiful white wooden houses recognizable by their elaborate balconies were built from the seventeenth century by merchants from India. Being of Shiite faith, they had the particularity of not mixing with other communities. They created this strictly private neighborhood and lived among themselves. Today, with the influx of tourists, the Lawatiya would have partially deserted the place. Admire the beautiful mosque with the blue dome.
