Hamoudi Mosque, Religious landmark in downtown Djibouti City, Djibouti.

The Hamoudi Mosque presents an exterior with white walls highlighted by green, yellow, brown, and blue accents on its single minaret.

The construction of Hamoudi Mosque began in 1906 under the direction of Arab businessman Hadji Hamoudi, marking the establishment of Islamic presence in Djibouti City.

The mosque serves as a central gathering place for the Islamic community in Djibouti, accommodating up to 1000 worshippers during religious ceremonies.

Visitors need to observe specific visiting hours and undergo security checks before entering the mosque, which stands on a triangular corner island.

The architectural design of the mosque follows patterns similar to the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, making it stand out in the city skyline.
