Masjid Jamia Al Musulman - Saigon Central Masjid

Saigon Central Mosque, also known as Jamia Al Muslim Cathedral, or Dong Du Mosque is one of twelve mosques in Ho Chi Minh City. The mosque is located at 66 Dong Du Street, one of the main roads in District 1, closed to many famous hotels and restaurants such as Caravelle, Bong Sen, Dim Tu Tac…

This mosque really stands out with its green and white color in a peaceful area surrounded by a solid fence. Thanks to the great location and the convenience of the shaded verandah and cool stone floors, this is an ideal place to sit and contemplate during hot day.

Saigon Central Mosque was built in 1935 by the South Indian Muslims for worshipers only from Southern India who came and lived in Saigon. But today, Muslims around the world can visit here to practice their beliefs.

The Mosque has become the most important one in Ho Chi Minh City. Every Friday at noon, going to the Mosque is compulsory for Muslims. The Mosque becomes crowded, busy, but not chaotic. Not only local Muslims but also many international believers living and working in Vietnam such as Indians, Pakistanis, Indonesians, Malaysians, and Arabs... come here to worship.
