Designed by the architect Cheikh N’Gom, the Mosque is a sublime religious structure characterized by two towering minarets offering unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean. Since the mosque was unveiled, it’s become both an important Muslim pilgrimage site and a breath-taking point of interest for curious travellers. Visitors consider the mosque a must-see in the Senegalese capital of Dakar, not only for its sheer size and the panorama that it offers, but as a unique architectural monument that melds elements of modernism with traditional Islamic design. From the top of the surrounding cliffs, the view looking out over the mosque back dropped by the ocean is picture-perfect.
