About the place

The mosque was built in the early 2010s on the site of an older neighbourhood mosque and opened in 2014. Its white marble walls, single dome and two minarets give it a light, almost monochrome look, quite different from the tiled monuments of Samarkand.

It is a working mosque that can hold thousands of worshippers on Fridays and holidays. Outside prayer times visitors can walk in the courtyard and, when allowed, look into the prayer hall with its carved and painted ceiling.

The embankment of the Ankhor canal in front of it is a quiet place for a walk.
