Niamey Grand Mosque, Islamic mosque in central Niamey, Niger.
The Grand Mosque of Niamey stands along Islam Avenue with a prominent minaret featuring 171 steps and a green dome atop latticed archways.
Construction of the mosque occurred in 1971 through financial support from Libya during the period of Gaddafi's influence in the Sahel region.
The mosque functions as the primary gathering space for Muslims in Niamey, particularly during Friday prayers when numerous worshippers attend services.
Visitors can access the interior spaces with a local guide who provides tours for a fee, while the minaret offers views of the city.
The mosque remains one of the few major structures in Niamey without surrounding walls or security barriers, making it visible from multiple angles.
