The Al Darah Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الدارة) is considered one of the oldest mosques in the Bilad Al Qadeem, Manama, Bahrain.[1] It is located east of the village in an earlier settlement and was founded by Shiite cleric Sheikh Ali Al-Baladi Al-Bahrani, buried in Abu Anbara Cemetery. The inscription marks it as built in 1741.[2]
