Almaty Central Mosque

It’s a short and walkable distance from the Green Bazaar to this mosque. The golden dome is truly magnificent, and the entire place is beautiful and peaceful. There’s barely any English signage inside the halls, but it’s still worth the visit. A small park-like area nearby is perfect for relaxing and soaking in the surroundings. It was lightly raining during our visit, which added to the charm. Entry is free.

Beautiful mosque in the center of Almaaty city. It is absolutely gorgeous outside. If you have a chance check out the main interior ( sadly only available for men). The interior space dedicated for women was honestly rather sad looking. Free toilets and washing facilities available outside.

A beautiful mosque in the middle of the city. The golden tops are particularly attractive and can be seen from quite the distance, it was even visible from our apartment. The surroundings are very clean and well maintained with tulips blooming here and there.

I did not get a chance to go there. It is not as much as the touristy websites tell you. If you seen other mosques in Middle East or Central Asian Republics, then you won't miss anything at least from the outside.

The Central Mosque in Almaty, Kazakhstan, stands as an exquisite example of Islamic architecture blended with local cultural influences. Its striking golden dome, intricate arabesque patterns, and vibrant turquoise tiles create a captivating visual experience. Surrounded by a serene courtyard, it offers visitors a moment of peace amidst the bustling city. A must-visit for its architectural elegance and spiritual ambiance!

Central Mosque is located in the central part of the city, just a block from the Green Bazaar towards Sayakhat bus station (to the north). The building has beautiful, tall minarets with golden domes. It has the big inner yard that also contains a small park as well as some other buildings, such as for the mosque administration and charity. Tourists are welcome to come in to see the interior of prayers rooms. It is open most of the time during the day, and most likely has lots of visitors gathering on Fridays, so it's better be visited all other days during the daytime hours. If you are in the Green Bazaar, walk down the Pushkin street till Mametova street to reach it, it is a few minutes walk.
