Uganda National Mosque

Perched on Kampala Hill, the Uganda National Mosque stands as a significant religious site for the country’s Muslim community, with a capacity to accommodate 35,000 worshippers. Completed in 2006 and initially named the Gaddafi National Mosque, it now serves as the headquarters for Islam in Uganda. The mosque’s most striking feature is its 166-foot (65-meter) minaret, which offers panoramic views of the city. Visitors can explore the mosque’s expansive grounds and climb the minaret for a breathtaking vista of Kampala.
