Haji Yaqub Mosque

Located in the center of Dushanbe, this mosque is named after an Islamic leader who was exiled to Afghanistan. Visitors go here to observe Islamic architecture and experience a place of worship within the city's urban core.

Getting There

The mosque is situated in the central district of Dushanbe. Depending on your starting point in the city center, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk of approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Allow roughly 45 to 60 minutes to view the exterior and the surrounding grounds. If you are entering the prayer hall, additional time may be needed to observe the interior details.
