Friends,

My name is Ismail Ali and I am the project manager for the first annual CIOM Detroit Area Mosque Tour. On November 12th 50+ people will board a bus and visit 10 historic mosques in and around metro Detroit. The tour will begin and end at the Islamic Center of America, with stops throughout Dearborn, Detroit, and Hamtramck. Our main guide will be CAIR-MI Executive Director Dawud Walid.

Participants will learn about the history, settlement, and practices of Detroit’s diverse Muslim community. Saima Akhtar, architecture PhD candidate from the University of California-Berkeley, selected the mosques and produced much of the content for our journey.

You may register now at mosquetour.eventbrite.com. The bus can only hold 55 people and we fully anticipate a sell out, so do not delay! Student passes are $10 and the regular fare is $20. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me at iaali@umich.edu.

Best,
Ismail Ali
University of Michigan – Ann Arbor

P.S. A generous donor decided cost could not be a barrier to participation in the tour, so a limited number of fee waivers are available. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in this option.
