Experts' Choice Award Grand Husseini Mosque
What the experts agree on
Iconic downtown mosque recognizable by twin minarets, built on a 7th-century site. More valuable for observing local life than architecture—not accessible to non-Muslim visitors.
“This mosque (not open to non-Muslim visitors) can be identified by its two slender minarets.”
– Michelin Guide
Lonely Planet "This compact mosque is in the heart of downtown on the site of an earlier mosque built in AD 640. The mosque is possibly more interesting as a hive of activity than for any architectural splendour." Full review

Respectfully dressed non-Muslims may be admitted – ask at the gate.
