The dargah on the Sofala coast near Beira is the tomb of a pious man named Abdul Rahman, venerated chiefly by Indo-Mozambican Muslims practicing a Sufi-inspired religiosity. His death date is undocumented and only conflicting traditions exist: some describe him as a 17th-century Arab merchant contemporary with the Portuguese, others as a Turkish pilgrim who passed through Sofala long before the Europeans; the academic literature (Soares) explicitly calls him 'an unknown saint'. Once a year Muslims from across Mozambique, neighbouring countries and the diaspora travel to the beach to mark his urs and seek his intercession and barakah. After Cyclone Idai (2019) the dargah and its access road were repaired. (Sources: P. P. Soares, 'Menace and perseverance at the dargah of Sofala', Religion journal; Soares, EASA2020 / UNL repository)
