Hamoudi Mosque

This landmark mosque in the heart of old Djibouti City is one of the most recognisable buildings in the capital, its slender minaret rising above the bustling market streets of the European Quarter and the adjacent Rue de Rome. Built in the early twentieth century, it has long served as a central place of worship for the city's Muslim majority. The surrounding district blends French colonial and Arab architectural influences. The mosque anchors the lively commercial and social heart of the old town.
