7. Gadaffi National Mosque:
The Kampala tour is not complete without a trip to the Uganda National Mosque. Originally called the Gaddafi National Mosque, this Mosque is the biggest in the East African, second biggest on the Continent of Africa after King Hassan Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. It is located on the top of Old Kampala Hill, one of the 7 most distinct of the 23 hills that make up Kampala.

It’s a two stories building and the mosque is on the upper floor while the offices are on the ground floor. It has large domes covered in brown mosaic and a minaret, (a prayer tower) rivalling the typical Ugandan ‘sky- scraper’ as a symbol of religious architectural superiority.

The mosque offers breath-taking city wide views, religious artistry, beautiful Islamic embroidery on the inside of the dome and wonderful architectural elements that pay tribute to a great deity
