Built in the 19th century and expanded in the 20th century, it is adorned with glittering mosaic work throughout. It still functions as a mosque and welcomes visitors outside of prayer times. Female visitors must adhere to the Muslim dress code, including full sleeves and a headscarf, when entering.

Hundreds of workers are engaged daily in constructing, welding, and refurbishing vessels that transport goods and people along Bangladesh’s waterways. The atmosphere is filled with the sounds of hammering metal, welding sparks, and the scent of paint and oil. The dockyard reflects both the resilience of the workers and the industrial heartbeat of Old Dhaka.
