On a hillock stand the remains of the mausoleum of Bibi Maryam, a holy woman. These are the best preserved of the ancient medieval port of Qalhat. Inside the mausoleum are four niches that were originally framed with rich Qashani earthenware tiles imported from Persia. It was also to include a mosque, described by the explorer Ibn Battuta as "very beautiful". According to the legend, only this monument resisted the earthquake that razed the city to the ground. The site became a place of pilgrimage before being classified by Unesco and closed to the public.
