    Very easy to get to. You must go through security to enter the site. There are 4 entrances to the site. The Mosque itself is a beautiful and intricately decorated structure. No entry to the inside of the Mosque was permitted at the time. It’s an absolute must place to visit when in Mazar!

    It is mostly known by tourists as the Blue Mosque City, referring to the Shrine of Hazrat Ali in the center. Mazar-e Sharif is the capital of the Balkh province and a place historically part of several civilizations, which makes it multiethnic and full of interesting contrasts

    Absolutely stunning and a must if you find yourself in Mazar! The tiles on the mosque are the originals and shine as brightly as they must have 700 years ago!

    Mosque is located in the centre of the fourth largest city in Afghanistan – Mazar-i-Sharif and is by far the best known landmark in this city. Building is 53 by 38 m large and very beautiful. Blue Mosque is roughly rectangular, with the tomb chamber of the purported remnants of Ali in its center. Above the tomb rises the largest dome: 15 m wide, blue cupola. Whole building is covered with polychrome tiles. Dominating color is blue of different shades. At the mosque have been added tombs of distinguished religious and political leaders of Afghanistan but whole complex of buildings is enclosed in a precinct.

    (Translated by Google) The Blue Mosque, also known as the Shrine of Hazrat Ali, is a mosque located in the center of Mazar-e-Sharif in the northern Afghan province of Balkh. This is where the flag is raised on the first day of every year (Nowruz). The mosque is said to have been built for the first time by Seljuk king Ahmad Sanjar, but was later destroyed by Genghis Khan. The mosque was rebuilt by Sultan Hussein Bayqara and has remained the same with more or less modifications. (Original) نیلي جومات ، چې د حضرت علي رضي الله تعالي عنه په زیارت هم پېژندل کېږي، یو جومات دی چې د افغانستان په شمالي ولایت بلخ ولایت کې د مزار شریف په مرکز کې موقعیت لري. دا هغه ځای دی چېرته چې د هر کال په لومړی ورځ(نوروز) کې جنډه پورته کېږي. ويل کېږي چې دا جومات د لومړي ځل لپاره د سلجوقیانو د پاچا احمد سنجر لخوا جوړ شو چې وروسته د چنګېز د يرغلونو له امله ونړېد. د دې جومات بیا رغونه د سلطان حسين بایقرا لخوا شوې چې تر لږ او زیات تغيراتو سره په هماغه خپله بڼه پاتې شوی.

    Mazār-i-Sharīf (Dari and Pashto: مزار شریف‎; [ˌmæˈzɒːr ˌi ʃæˈriːf]), also called Mazār-e Sharīf, or just Mazar, is the fourth-largest city of Afghanistan, with a 2015 UN–Habitat population estimate 427,600. It is the capital of Balkh province and is linked by highways with Kunduz in the east, Kabul in the southeast, Herat in the west and Termez in Uzbekistan in the north. It is about 55 km (34 mi) from the Uzbek border. The city also serves as one of the many tourist attractions because of its famous shrines as well as the Islamic and Hellenistic archeological sites. The ancient city of Balkh is also nearby.

  • 5/5 Seyed C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Imam Ali (as) is a religious place in northern Afghanistan, located in the city of Mazar-e-Sharif, which is located almost in the center of the city and enhances the spirituality of this city and its inhabitants. Due to the presence of terrorist groups such as the Taliban, ISIS and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, this place has caused fewer tourists to visit for security reasons, and if there were no successive wars, this country would become the largest powerful country in Asia. The people of this city and other cities resort to this holy place and its owner (Imam Ali (as)) to get help. (Original) قدمگاه حضرت علی(علیه السلام)مکانی مذهبی در شمال افغانستان واقع در شهر مزار شریف میباشد که تقریبا در مرکز شهر واقع شده و معنویت این شهر و افراد ساکن آن را بالا می‌برد. در این مکان به دلیل وجود گروه های تروریستی از جمله طالبان،داعش و القاعده در افغانستان،باعث شده که توریست های کمتری به دلایل امنیتی دیدن کنند و اگر جنگ های متوالی نبود این کشور به بزرگ ترین کشور قدرتمند در آسیا تبدیل میشد. مردم این شهر و شهر های دیگر برای گرفتن حاجت به این مکان مقدس و صاحب آن(حضرت علی علیه السلام) متوسل میشوند.
