Hala Sultan Tekke is a mosque and shrine on the western shore of the Larnaca Salt Lake, about 4 km southwest of the town centre.

It holds the tomb of Umm Haram, a relative of the Prophet Muhammad who died here in the 7th century, and is an important site of pilgrimage. The present mosque dates from the early 19th century. The lake often has flamingos in winter.
