Republic Kazakhstan/Astana city Grand Mosque

A Spiritual Spectacle at Astana Grand Mosque 🕌✨ Step into the heart of Nur-Sultan and be swept away by the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Astana Grand Mosque! This stunning landmark isn’t just a place of worship—it’s a showcase of modern Central Asian architecture, vibrant youth energy, and picture-perfect moments. 🧭 Recommended Route: Start by approaching the mosque via the main plaza for the most dramatic first impression—especially near sunset when the white marble glows warmly. Then wander the peaceful gardens and fountains that surround the mosque before heading inside. 🌟 Must-do Experiences: Tour the main prayer hall with its ornate blue-gold décor and soaring domes. Pause for a quiet moment of reflection, whether or not you’re religious—everyone’s welcome here. In the evening, the mosque’s illuminated façade is an unforgettable sight. 📸 Insta-worthy Photo Spots: Capture the mosque’s full silhouette from the outer gardens for a classic shot or snap the shimmering mosaics by the front entrance. Inside, the interplay of sunlight through stained glass windows makes for ethereal photos—especially midday. 🚩 Visiting Tips: Open year-round, all day (3CC5+XV, Astana 020000, Kazakhstan). Dress modestly—cover shoulders and knees; bring a scarf to cover your hair if needed. Mornings are generally quieter, and the weather is often gloriously clear from spring through fall. Take advantage of the friendly vibe—locals love sharing their city’s pride! ⚠️ Precautions: Avoid visiting during midday prayers if you want full access to explore inside. Photography is welcome, but be mindful around worshippers and signs indicating no photos. #Astana #Kazakhstan #GrandMosque #CentralAsia #CityHighlights

1 year ago when I visited the place it was called Astana. Nowadays the name of this big city is Nur-Sultan named after the first president of free Kazakhstan - Nur-Sultan Nazarbayev. The city is famous with its skyscrapers and also with very extreme steppe climate with temperatures ranging from -55°C to +40°C #kazakhstan #astana #nursultan #happynewyear #happynewyear
