The Central Mosque is one of the largest mosques in ALMATY & KAZAKHSTAN too with a capacity for 7000 worshippers. Built on the site of the old mosque which caught fire in 1987. ( The name of the earlier mosque was Tatar Mosque ). The architects of the project were Baimagambetov, Sharapiev and Zharylgapov. The large dome is decorated with Koranic ayats performed by Turkish calligraphers. Originally, the mosque had a simple blue dome. In 2006, the main dome was decorated with ceramic tiles with floral ornaments. In 2010-2011, the ceramic tiles were replaced with a coating of gold plates. The prayer hall has a beautiful CARPET. On December 22, 2006, the National Bank of Kazakhstan depicted the mosque on a limited-edition 500-tenge coin of sterling silver in order to promote a broader understanding of the entire culture of Kazakhstan, to promote the presentation of religion as a peaceful doctrine of the spiritual and moral self-improvement of the individual. The Central Mosque is a must visit if you are in Almaty. It is a blissful experience. Preetam.✨

We came to pray the Friday prayer. It's highly recommended that you come at least 45 minutes to an hour before the prayer scheduled time as it gets very packed. We arrived around 10 minutes before the call for prayer. The women's praying area inside the mosque was blocked by men who lined up outside of it and all around the mosque. Also, make sure to bring a rug with you in case you can't make it to the inside of the masjid. The building of the masjid is gorgeous with the incredible golden domes!

The Central Almaty Mosque is located some 10 min walk north from the Green Bazaar. Its golden dome along with golden topped minarets are visible from afar. It was built in the 90's right after gaining independence, all in white marble. Currently, it's the biggest Mosque in Kazakhstan with space for around 7.000 people. Mosque is free to enter, even to non Muslims with respecting their rules. Very nice interior

One of the beautiful mosques. Had been on a Friday. I managed to find a spot for myself on the main hall ground floor. Once all the places are occupied people are forced to pray outside. There is a separate facility for females. Toilets are located nearby for both males and females. Across the road is a good tea shop and accessories shop for Muslims. The sermon is in the Kazakh language.
