In contrast to later single-domed mosques, the Dzhumaya belongs to the so-called multi-domed mosques, as it has nine domes covered with sheets of lead. On one side the façade is covered in a carved wooden front that must have been added at a later date. A painted minaret (23 metres tall) is erected at the northeast corner of the main façade, decorated with a diagonal square meshwork of red bricks (dusky pink Byzantine brickwork) on white mortar plaster which reminds us that the mosque was built sometime in the 14th century.

The interior of the mosque is decorated with floral ornament wall-paintings, such as twigs, blossoms and garlands that are intertwined with medallions quoting the Koran. The wall-paintings probably date back to the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century.

Dzhumaya Mosque was planned as a large three-nave building. Initially, there was access to the prayer room through two entrances. While believers entered the mosque through the eastern one, the northern one, now serving as the main, led from the market in front of the mosque to the inside of the building through the portal. Today the entrance on the east side is walled up. During the renovation works (1785, 1818) an additional west door was made​​, which is no longer used. The minaret is in the northeast corner.

Today Dzhumaya Mosque is an active Muslim temple and is visited not only on religious holidays, but also during the week by the Muslim religious community in Plovdiv.

Parallels can be drawn between the exterior and the interior of Dzhumaya Mosque and some of the oldest Ottoman
religious monuments in Bursa, Edirne, and Sofia built in the 14th – 15th centuries.

Though the entrance arch, worn by time but grand nonetheless, there is a light and ornately decorated interior with large chandeliers.
