In the middle of Ander Sher bazaar you see the entry of the Mahabat Khan's Mosque. In fact this entry is nothing more then a small gate in between the jewellery shops. Mahabat Khan, the governor of Peshawar, built it in 1630 during the reign of Moghal Shah Jahan. The open courtyard has a basin for ceremonial cleaning (in the middle). A guide told us that during the Sikh-period, the minarets were used a lot as gallows.
Open: every day from sunrise till sunset, during the Friday prayers around noon the mosque is closed for tourists.
Tourist trap
If you walk from the Mosque towards Chowk Yadgar, on the left side there is an entrance to a Caravan Serai. Inside the caravanserai there is a stair, take the stair to the top floor, and you have a great view over the Mosque.
Don't be afraid that you will miss this place because when you pass near the entrance gate, there will always be a guy who will show you the upper floor of the caravanserai with the great mosque view. Of course there is a little but, as a compensation you must visit his little souvenir shop which is locate on the ground floor of the Caravanserai. So be gentle and pay him with a visit, show some interest, anyway you are not obliged to buy something.
