Jamia Mosque
The mosque is located in the heart of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. It is the main mosque in the capital and is considered the most important mosque in Kenya as well as one of the most prominent landmarks of Islam in the country. Worshippers flock there in large numbers for every prayer, as the mosque is spacious and has wide courtyards.
Architecturally, the mosque is a magnificent masterpiece built in the traditional Arab-Islamic style, with its tall minarets, high domes, and distinctive Islamic decorations and artistic designs.
