You enter through a shop where they give you a robe to cover up if needed. You then go up stairs to the outside of the Mosque. The facade and blue dome are beautiful, with a big outside area to walk around. We also went inside the mosque which, while not ornate or large, was peaceful and beautiful. When you leave, you go back through the shop where the workers give you tea and do try to sell you a bit to make a purchase. They do have beautiful stuff that is hand made and worth the money if you want a souvenir to bring home such has hand painted ceramics or mosaics.

Visited here while on a tour but this was not in our itinerary. 3 of our group visited on our own. Magnificent architectural design, a peaceful beautiful mosque and feel blessed that it is open to non Muslim visitors. Should be included as one of the special places of Amman to visit. A small museum is attached to the mosque which is also very interesting and well worth the visit too.

The taxi driver took me here and we entered through a huge store selling tourist-related items. The English speaking staff told me that I had to wear an abaya to enter the mosque. Next to the store is a small museum where the employee gave me some papers explaining about the mosque. Decorations inside the mosque are plain and simple, nothing to write home about. I did not see the ladder where the Imman talks and sings. Noted a young man taking photo of his friend while lying down on the floor. I requested him to take a photo of me the same way. Results were impressive, photos include me ( wearing an abaya for the first time) and the beautiful chandeliers and ceiling as well!

Upon stepping into the mosque, one immediately feels a tangible sense of tranquility and spirituality. The expansive prayer hall, adorned with intricate carpets and graceful chandeliers, emanates a calm atmosphere. Abundant natural light streams through the large windows, fostering a serene ambiance that encourages moments of reflection and contemplation. The interior design harmoniously merges traditional Islamic artistry with modern elements, resulting in a space that possesses a timeless yet contemporary feel.

Mosque is worth a look (although locals call it “the blue mosque” this is not the famous Blue Mosque in Istanbul). On the way in, you'll be required to wear a covering robe, for all females and men in shorts. On the way out, turn in your robe and then *run* right through the exorbitantly priced, high-pressure gift shop. The salespeople are really friendly and hard to avoid. I bought a pretty little painted dish for way too much money - when I got home, I saw a “handmade” sticker on the bottom. Peeled it off, and underneath it said “Made in China.” So frustrating. Really soured the experience. At least the money goes to a good cause (or so the salesperson said…..)

As a non-Muslim, it was an interesting experience going into a mosque, especially because in many places that I visited I was not allowed to. This one has a stunning interior. The odd thing about my experience was that you have to exit through a gift shop as if you were at Disney World. It was at that point that I experience the pushiest salesperson that I encountered in two weeks of traveling in the MENA region.

It’s a bit out of your way from downtown Amman, but not far from the abdali bus station. The building is very pretty with a huge blue dome. Visitors normally should enter through the gift shop but we accidentally went in through a entrance with no guard on duty.
