Additional information

• Due to ongoing renovations, certain sections of the interiors may be obstructed by scaffolding.

• Internet access at the venue is limited, so download the audio guide in advance to ensure smooth access during your visit.

• Due to the Friday prayer, the Mosque will be closed to tourists from 12pm to 2pm. For a smoother experience, it's recommend visiting after 4pm to avoid the lengthy security line anticipated between 2pm and 4pm.
