Teleshayakh Mosque Tours and Tickets

Plan on dressing modestly. That means long sleeves and pants for men, while women should keep chests, arms, and legs concealed. It is a good idea to bring a shawl in case you are requested to cover your hair.

Photography is generally welcome, but you should ask permission before taking pictures of any people, especially worshippers. Photos and videos are often restricted within the prayer halls of the mosques.

Information is typically available in Uzbek, Russian, and English, although signage is limited. Either read up on the site in advance or visit with a guide to get the most out of your experience. There’s a lot of history here to unpack.

A highlight of the Hazrati Imam is the Muyi Muborek, a former madrasa that contains a vast religious library. Displayed there is a Quran manuscript believed to date back to the eighth or ninth century. Expect to pay a small fee to enter the exhibit.
