The historic mosque located near the yadgar chawok, in the sona bazar street, with glorious building vast enough for hundreds of prayers at a single time!The inside of the mosque is very clean and well furnished and there is calm once you entered inside!A real place of peace and worship!

The heritage trail begins at the historical Ghanta Ghar. Visitors can then walk through Bazaar-e-Kalan and the Sethian Mohallah — a once upscale neighbourhood of the city which houses palatial wooden havelis built by the Sethis in 1882.It culminates at the archaeological complex of Gor Gathri, which was used by the Italian mercenary general Paolo Avaitable as his residence during the period when Sikhs ruled the city.The complex also houses Serai Jahandad. which has been converted into an artisan village, a 17th century Hindu temple and a British-built fire brigade with two vintage fire engines dating back to 1912.For Guided Tour to walled City Of Peshawar Contact Us Tour Da PekhawarWhatsapp: +923339866655Email: [email protected]: TourDaPekhawar#OldestCity #TourDaPekhawar.

Peshawar’s finest mosque, the Mahabat Khan mosque, is a 17th century religious building with a lavish interior consisting of a prayer hall with floral and geometric designs painted on the wall and a centrally located ablution pool. It is named after the Mughal king of the region at the time. The interior of the prayer hall is sheltered beneath three low, fluted domes and is eloquently painted with floral and geometric designs.

Masjid Mahabat Khan, Peshawar. This is one of the many Mughal era mosques in Peshawar. This one dates from the 17th century. It’s named after a Mughal governor of Peshawar.Sadly, as is a recurring theme in Pakistan, it is yet another heritage site in a state of disrepair. These photos give you an idea of what it may have been like in bygone years.

This mosque was built in 17th century by a Mughal Era governor Mohabbat Khan on highest point of old city. Its entrance is from a narrow street where a car cant go. You will have to walk 200m from main road. Art works inside main prayer hall is in somewhat better conditions while artwork on outer wall is in pretty bad shape. Repair work is in progress. Open area inside the mosque has a pond with taps on all four side for ablution.
