I have seen this mosque in one of online guides recommended to visit in Nairobi.
I would not say it is a must to see in Nairobi… over all 20-30 minutes would be enough to take a few pictures…You should come when there is no paying going on – I came at 3 PM on Friday.
You might be stopped by a security guard who would consult with the chief security whether to let you have a tour inside. I did pass the screening
Overall the mosques is nice and beautiful, but again nothing special.

Jamia mosque is not just any mosque in Kenya. It is one of the most iconic mosques in Kenya and one of the most well maintained and most visited by the muslims. At any given time of the day, you can find at least a 1000 people praying at the same time and during Jumma prayers, the number goes upto 5,000 or even more.

Though its the largest mosque in kenya...Its ridiculous how you can add a mosque to this list, or is Nairobi out of roaming places :)

This serves as the center for all the Nairobi Muslims since it is in the Central Business District. Therefore, convenient for all those working in the city. It is next to the Macmillan Library, Tropez and Nation Center (a leading national media house). Its inspiring to see all the muslims go for prayers especially on Fridays and during the Holy month of Ramadhan. The best thing is to avoid driving along the street there on those days from noon,and especially on Ramadhan when they have the road closed on Fridays.

The biggest mosque in Nairobi and in Kenya. Wonderful architectural beauty with a place for ablution in both right/ left sides. A nice and small fountain in the middle. Some sellers put their items near the entrance of the mosque.
