Apr 29, 2020We went in January and did not realize the Mosque was under heavy restoration efforts. The bulk of the work was internal so we missed out on the beautiful tile work inside.
3/5 - Okay

Jan 6, 2020this place is over crowded and under construction, looks good from the outside but pointless from the inside.

3/5 - Okay
Rusty
Oct 13, 2019Undergoing a major renovation. There was almost no line to enter and there was no cost, so I think it was worth the visit, but prepare to be underwhelmed once inside. Don't forget about prayer times. Visitors are not allowed inside during these times. If you can find the times, they are posted outside the mosque.
3/5 - Okay

Sep 8, 2019Almost entirely under reconstruction interiorly- some exterior work being done as well. I recommend waiting 5 years to come.
