Located in the north of Baku, Heydar Mosque was built on a large area of about 12 hectares and has the capacity for thousands of people to worship at the same time.

The high ceiling, spacious interior, and simple but impressive decorations of the main prayer hall offer visitors a calm and deep spiritual atmosphere. The calligraphy details and lighting system used in the interior are among the important elements that reflect the spirit of the mosque.
The Heydar Mosque isn't just a place of worship; it's also designed as an inclusive religious center that aims to bring together Muslims from different sects. In this respect, the mosque also represents Azerbaijan's understanding of tolerance and multicultural life. The guided tour also shares basic information about the historical development of Islam in Azerbaijan and its place today.
The tour is ideal for religious visitors looking for a spiritual stop, those interested in Islamic architecture, and travelers who want to get to know Baku from a different perspective.
