Grand Mosque of Plateau
Grande Mosquée du Plateau
A large mosque in the southern Plateau, whose white minaret and green dome form part of the business district skyline.
The Grande Mosquée du Plateau sits in the southern part of the business district, close to the lagoon. It is one of Abidjan's most important mosques, with a white main building, a green dome and a tall minaret, and crowds gather for Friday prayers. Non-Muslims are generally only allowed to view the mosque from outside, or to enter outside prayer times with permission. Visitors should wear long sleeves and long trousers, women should cover their hair, and shoes must be removed before entering. It is worth a quick look from the outside while touring the Plateau, but you won't need to spend long there.
