Mohammed Bin Ali al Alawi
Mohammed Bin Ali al Alawi also known as ( Mohammed Saheb Mirbat) was a 14th century Islamic scholar and religious leader. He was a descendant of the son-in-law [ Ali] of Prophet Mohammed.[PBUH] and was immensely revered for his knowledge in Islam. He set up a madrassa in Mirbat and also died here on 556H (1161 AD).

His fame grew posthumously because of the tomb he was buried in. The tomb was buried not far from Mirbat.

Bin Ali’s Tomb does not require too much exploration, situated just off a tarmac road rather than off the beaten track. Nestled in the craggy hills on the approach to the town of Mirbat, the road to the tomb of Bin Ali is quite a dramatic sight.

This sparkling white monument to Mohammed Bin Ali al Alawi make a powerful impact. The setting is pretty unforgettable too, set in a huge graveyard with hundreds of tombstones rising from the green and brown ground like macabre sculptures. At the back of the graveyard is an ocean which adds to the attraction to his tomb situated in the ancient fishing town, Mirbat.

Over time, a mosque was built over his tomb.
