A very beautiful mosque in the middle of Yafo.

Mahmoudiya Mosque is the largest and most significant mosque in Jaffa, now part of the larger city of Tel Aviv. It is composed of a complex of buildings arranged around two large courtyards and a third, smaller, courtyard. The buildings, gates, and courtyards were built at different stages throughout the 18th and 19th centuries while Palestine was under Ottoman rule. It is a must visit place for Jaffa / Tel Aviv.

One of the beatiful and peaceful places in Palestine which has been built by Ottoman Empire. It’s been built with 3 different parts which has a library as well inside.

An incredible architect in terms of architecture… A Mosque built to integrate people rather than dividing them. Whoever did it for a hundred years, whoever put a brick, may Allah be pleased with him. The Mahmoudiyah Mosque or the Great Mosque is located in the center of the city of Jaffa, opposite the Clock Tower. It is a central and important mosque in terms of its location and because of its large size. There is a large internal yard for prayer. It is visited by tourists from inside and outside, especially in the month of Ramadan and holidays. The mosque has undergone major and radical renovations, which improved its appearance from the outside. And inside too..

beautiful clean and well maintain mosque left in old jaffa city.

A historical Masjid in the old city of Jaffa, Palestine. This building is fantastic and is open for prayers

I was there at night, strolling Jaffa narrow streets when I came by this place. Unlike other reviewers, I haven't encountered any problem as I was alone and could admire the place all by myself. All Jaffa or Yafo, is a magical place by night. Just take a look at the pictures.

I didn’t enter to see the inside, but it’s a beautiful building full of history.

Peaceful place in the middle of Jaffa for prayer

It's the Great Mosque of Jaffa, an architectural treasure with a rich cultural tapestry and history of the old city, way before it became incorporated into the current day Tel Aviv. It's one of the most remarkable landmarks of Jaffa with its imposing minaret. It's a prominent Ottoman Period architecture. The original mosque was built around early 1700's. The current structure was completed around the 19th century. Along with minaret, the two domes are a draw to this old architecture. The mosque remains a place of prayer for the faithful. According to locals whom I've had pleasure of speaking with, it is also a great place peaceful respite from the daily rustlings of modern Jaffa, and a cool rest from the summer heat.

A well worth place to visit of Muslim worship. Imam & staff were very polite. We stayed in city for 5hrs and due to extreme humidity we ended up staying inside the mosque after Zohar pray till we left to airport. We were offered watermelons from staff. JazakAllah

Amazing historical place in Jaffa.

Very authentic and deeply rooted

Stay away from this site if you do not want to ENDANGER yourself. We are a family of 4 ( one 4.5 year old toddler and 1 year old baby), who stood at the entrance (only there, in the street side), trying to understand if our cloths comply with the reguirements (according to the sign at the entrance), when suddenly out of the men who exit after their prayer, few young men started to shout at us, about our cloths not respecting the place (again- we did NOT enter the holy place), and who dare we to come at the end of a prayer ( when we do not even know the praying hours) and basically intimidated us through the street, all while we were trying to return to the main street (with a bicycle and a stroller.. not allowing a fast escape) so that one of them wont injure us. The bottom line- unfortunately, I would NOT recommend you to look at this place, you can never know which radicals you might face with.

Must to see! Gorgous Place.. Peaciful.
