The central mosque of Almaty is very well known for its golden dome which attracts views from many places. Hard to find parking for car. Place for ablution, beautiful fountain outside, then a wonderful big hall, decorated carpets, amazing Quran verses printed on inner walls and a place enough for about 7000 visitors or worshiper.

Almaty Central Mosque is a serene oasis nestled within the vibrant cityscape of Almaty. Its elegant architecture, with its grand domes and towering minarets, commands attention from afar. Stepping inside, visitors are enveloped in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. The spacious prayer halls and intricately adorned interiors inspire awe and reverence. Whether you come to pray or simply to admire the beauty of Islamic architecture, a visit to the Almaty Central Mosque is a spiritually enriching experience that shouldn't be missed.

This mosque was builtin the 1990s, shortly after independence, when Almaty was still the capital and in need of a new, bigger mosque. For that period, it was quite an undertaking. Although it pales in comparison to the grand new mosques built in Astana more recently, it is a worthy and attractive building. It is obviously modern, but evokes the styles of traditional Central Asian Islamic architecture. It is worth a visit and is easily reach by foot from the Green Bazaar or Ascension Cathedral, Panfilov Park, or metro stations.
