Imam Abu Hanifa Grand Mosque
Масҷиди ҷомеи Имоми Аъзам
One of the largest mosques in Central Asia, completed in 2020. Four minarets surround a golden dome, and it can hold over 100,000 worshippers.
The Grand Mosque stands northwest of Dushanbe and was built with funding from Qatar. It covers more than 10 hectares, and its main prayer hall has a vast dome. The interior is decorated with marble, painted motifs and chandeliers. The four minarets rise about 70 meters, making it a new landmark of the city. Outside prayer times, visitors are usually allowed to view the exterior and courtyard, but entering the prayer hall requires staff permission. Dress modestly, with long sleeves and long trousers, and women must cover their heads. Crowds are very large for midday Friday prayers, so it's best to avoid that time. Entry is free, and it's about 15 minutes by taxi from the city center.
