- betteskidBoston, Massachusetts1,310 contributionsVery nice introduction to a mosqueWe were given the opportunity to visit this mosque with a practicing Moslem. Our visit was really very good. Having never been inside a mosque before, we learned a great deal about the religion and a bit of the religion was demystified for us. I was also given the opportunity to enter the woman's area which is much smaller than the men's area and we also toured the little museum that is there.Visited December 2022Written December 17, 2022
- amymlongHouston, Texas210 contributionsInteresting Mosque, Over Priced Gift ShopVery interesting opportunity to experience a mosque for those that are non-Muslim. Visitors must enter from the visitors entrance and enter through the gift shop to pay a small entrance fee. Woman are required to wear a robe (they loan them to you at the gift shop) and then you can walk up to the mosque and explore it, as well as a couple of museums. We visited once on our own and then came back a couple of days later as part of a guided tour. I have to say, it was much more educational with the guide. Beautiful building, neat experience. The museums are pretty simple, one has little models of other famous mosques and the other contains a few artifacts. The gift shop has every type of item made in Jordan and the women who work there will give you a personal guided tour of the shop and explain how and where the items are made. I did not like that prices aren't visible and you have to ask for the price of each item. I will say though that they had the most expensive prices on souvenirs of any of the places we visited. All proceeds of the store go to the Queen Noor Foundation (they help women and disabled people) but plenty of other stores we visited along the Kings Highway also support this foundation and there prices are much better than here. For example. I was quoted $130 JD for a pair of earrings, but paid $35 for the same pair at another Queen Noor supported store. Visit the mosque, skip the store.Visited February 2023Written March 18, 2023
- zuvBucharest, Romania27,127 contributionsCommon mosqueIt is also called the Blue Mosque. It is a relatively new mosque, quite beautiful, but far from the beauty of the one of the same name in Istanbul. It can also be visited inside by tourists, even if they are not Muslims. Besides, no one asked me anything at the time of the visit, not even for the entrance fee.Visited March 2023Travelled soloWritten March 27, 2023
- MicheleZurich, Switzerland37 contributionsBeautiful from outside, average from insideThe mosque from outside is beautiful and I can highly recommend it. Especially if you go to the Abdali Mall, which is 5-7 minutes on foot you have a great view. Inside however, the view is pretty underwhelming and not too special to be honest. Nevertheless for 2jod it could be worth the visitVisited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten April 3, 2023
- AkelaH865 contributionsBeautiful buildingThis is such a beautiful building. Visitors who are not Muslim have to enter via the visitor entrance. Clothing should be conservative but they have gowns to wear if you don’t have long sleeves or trousers/ long skirt. There is such a sense of calm inside and there are volunteers on hand to explain parts of the building to you. Well worth a visit.Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten May 1, 2023

- JessabelllNew York City, New York147 contributionsBeautiful Mosque and ShopYou enter through a shop where they give you a robe to cover up if needed. You then go up stairs to the outside of the Mosque. The facade and blue dome are beautiful, with a big outside area to walk around. We also went inside the mosque which, while not ornate or large, was peaceful and beautiful. When you leave, you go back through the shop where the workers give you tea and do try to sell you a bit to make a purchase. They do have beautiful stuff that is hand made and worth the money if you want a souvenir to bring home such has hand painted ceramics or mosaics.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten October 16, 2023

Magnificent architectural design, a peaceful beautiful mosque and feel blessed that it is open to non Muslim visitors. Should be included as one of the special places of Amman to visit. A small museum is attached to the mosque which is also very interesting and well worth the visit too.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten October 29, 2023

The taxi driver took me here and we entered through a huge store selling tourist-related items. The English speaking staff told me that I had to wear an abaya to enter the mosque. Next to the store is a small museum where the employee gave me some papers explaining about the mosque.
Decorations inside the mosque are plain and simple, nothing to write home about. I did not see the ladder where the Imman talks and sings.
Noted a young man taking photo of his friend while lying down on the floor. I requested him to take a photo of me the same way. Results were impressive, photos include me ( wearing an abaya for the first time) and the beautiful chandeliers and ceiling as well!

As always with mosques, often spectacular from outside and alwayswide empty prayer space inside. This one is no exception but is pretty imprestive, so you may dedicate a few minutes to it.

Beautyful place, in the shop we were invited for a tea and the girls talked with us while we drank our tea. There is a parkinglot near to the mosque, but you need to be prepared with 2 JOD for parking.

Is the mosque open to visitors on Friday? Lonely Planet says it is possible to visit on Friday other than the prayer time but not sure if it is still the case. Thank you.
