Hohola Mosque, Muslim prayer center in Hohola district of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.

The first mosque in Papua New Guinea stands as a two-story white building with traditional Islamic architectural elements in Port Moresby's Hohola district.

The construction of Hohola Mosque began in 2004 after the government donated land, with financial support from Malaysia and Saudi Arabia completing the project in 2007.

The mosque functions as an educational center for Islamic studies while promoting interfaith dialogue between Muslim residents and the Christian majority in Papua New Guinea.

Visitors need to remove shoes before entering, with separate prayer areas for men and women, and regular prayer times following the Islamic calendar.

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's visit during the 2018 APEC conference highlighted the mosque's role in strengthening international Islamic connections.
