I liked the overall outside appearance of it. To be honest, I haven't been inside, so I can't say what it's like on the inside. Great structure is what I can say, for now. Hope to review it more someday after seeing the inside.

It has a good vibe, it's holy place there you will find a nice people.

Noisy and populated area, cleanliness is only a dream

Lovely Masjid within a bustling area of Addis. Very busy and lively area of Addis within the market area.

A huge local market with the Mosque being the central part of Addis Ababa's Muslim community.

Grand Anwar Mosque is located in Merkato, in Arada district of Addis Ababa. It was built by the Italian government around 1922. The mosque is the largest and one of the oldest mosques (masjid) in Addis Ababa. The mosque has unique architecture with white and green colors. After the Italians left unfinished, Muslims collected money to resume the construction. When the construction completed, 16,000 ETB were not paid to the contractor, which led to closure for couple of days by court order. The mosque then reopened as an individual covered payment. During fasting periods, thousands of people gather in the mosque compound and man can carry incense to smell inside the mosque. A portable podium placed to the middle of green pillars supporting the white outer walls and domes that form spectacular façade of the mosque.
