The Uganda National Mosque, also known as the Gaddafi National Mosque, is a prominent religious site in Kampala offering panoramic views of the city from its minaret. The mosque is generally accessible, but it's advisable to check for any construction or special events that might affect access. Solo visits are possible, allowing you to explore at your own pace, but guided tours are available to provide deeper insights into the mosque's history and architecture. There aren't significant seasonal restrictions, but dressing respectfully (covering shoulders and knees) is mandatory; attire can often be rented at the entrance. Entrance fees are typically moderate, around $5-$10 USD, and a typical visit lasts about 1-2 hours. Consider visiting during prayer times to witness the mosque's vibrant atmosphere, keeping in mind that non-Muslims may have limited access during prayers.
