Good to know
- Best time to visit
- Visits run at set times outside prayer hours; mornings are usually quietest. Times change on Fridays and during Ramadan, so check before you go.
Insider tips
Arrive a little early for your visit time and allow extra time for the esplanade, where the ocean views and the scale of the minaret are best appreciated.
