About the place

The mosque is named after al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi, the Sufi scholar of Termez, and was opened on 24 May 2019. It mixes traditional and modern design: two minarets 41.5 metres high flank a dome of 22 metres, and the prayer hall holds over 2,250 people. It is a working city mosque, so visit outside prayer times and dress modestly.
