A magnificent white marble mosque built in one of the most beautiful corners of Balkanabat has become one of the main attractions of the administrative center of the velayat.
The total area of the mosque is 5 hectares (12 acres), and in its two-story building 3000 people can perform a prayer service. The height of each of the four minarets is 63 m (207 ft), and the height of the dome is 40 m (130 ft). There is also a room for a sadaka for 500 people, a hotel for 50 people and a parking.
The central dome of the mosque is crowned with a golden crescent. The architectural complex also includes four slender minarets decorated with original decor elements. The area of the first tier is 3,444 m2 (37,070 sq ft), the second tier intended for women is 1,609 m2 (17,320 sq ft). Marble, granite, and precious woods were used for interior decoration.
