Kashani: A Tranquil Church in Mombasa

Getting There

• Bicycle

  If you're in the central area of Mombasa, you can rent a bicycle from one of the local shops. Head towards Moi Avenue and continue until you reach the junction with Digo Road. Turn right onto Digo Road and cycle straight for about 3 kilometers. You will pass various shops and local eateries. Keep an eye out for the signs pointing towards Ras Makamaiwe. As you approach the area, look for XM49+J74, where Kashani is located.

• Walking

  Starting from the iconic Fort Jesus, walk north along the waterfront towards the Old Port. Continue onto Moi Avenue, which will take you through the bustling local market area. After about 1 kilometer, turn left onto Digo Road. Walk straight for approximately 3 kilometers, passing by local shops and restaurants. Keep an eye for the neighborhood of Ras Makamaiwe, and ask locals for directions to XM49+J74, where Kashani is located.

• Public Bus (Matatu)

  From the city center, head to the nearest matatu station, typically near Moi Avenue. Look for a matatu heading towards Mombasa's north coast or Ras Makamaiwe. The fare is usually around 50 KES. Inform the conductor that you're headed to Kashani or XM49+J74. Once you arrive, you may need to walk a short distance to reach your final destination, as the matatus may not go directly to the exact coordinates.
