Insider tips

Visit during the late afternoon to experience the transition from daily commerce to the communal evening prayer atmosphere.

Respect the ongoing religious activities by remaining in the designated visitor areas if you are not participating in prayers.

What to avoid

Avoid visiting during the peak Friday midday prayer if you prefer a quieter environment, as the space becomes crowded with worshippers.
