Its a best place to visit in Islamabad. Public transport goes there too. Bikes parking available. But try to go in off peak hours, to avoid rush. If you want to see inside of mosque, then wait there for the time of prayers. As it opens for prayers just.

Awesome place to visit. I just go for little time but i enjoy Faisal Mosque really much. Some fabolous clicks at mosque captured by photographer make me the real fan of this place

Back bone of the beauty of Islamabad and one can see it right on the Islamabad highway. Calm place, clean and very well managed. Do go during the pray time and offer inside. There are no pillars inside the Masjid and huge capacity. Highly recommended.

Soul touching place and also beautiful place to visit and also its surrounding is fabulous . I wish i go there someday again.

One of the most famous places in Pakistan. Beautiful architecture, a mosque combining post modern and traditional styles of architecture. It can accommodate over a 100,000 people. Very picturesque. Definitely recommended for a visit.

This mosque is a major tourist attraction in Pakistan, Islamabad in particular, and is referred to as a contemporary and influential feature of Islamic architecture.Construction of the mosque began in 1976 after a $28 million grant fromSaudi King Faisal, whose name the mosque bears. The unconventional design by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay, was selected after an international competition. Without a typical dome the mosque is shaped like a Bedouin tent, surrounded by four 260 feet (79 m) tall minarets. The design features eight-sided shell shaped sloping roofs forming a triangular worship hall which can hold 10,000 worshippers

Faisal mosque was, is and will in sha ALLAH always be this magnificent and beautiful. But beware of the token mafia sitting at the entrance which is charging an exorbitant amount to collect shoes to safekeep. Also be mindful of your personal belongings because theres always a crowd here and things can get lost.

A great place to just sit and think. The entire mosque is covered in white marble that remains cold, even during the blistering summer heat. The mosque has so much symmetry that actually helps in meditation and detoxification of the mind. Even foreigners are welcome to enter, although a headscarf is recommended for females whilst there.

The Faisal Mosque (فیصل مسجد‎, romanized: faisal masjid) is a mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan and is the national mosque of Pakistan.Upon completion it was the largest mosque in the world and is currently the fifth largest mosque in the world and the largest in South Asia. It is located on the foothills of Margalla Hills in Islamabad.

We were 7 friends we visited Northern areas of Pakistan with Pakistan Guided Tours after reading excellent reviews on TripAdvisor about them. The tour was wonderful and fantastic. The birds eye view of Islamabad and Faisal Mosque from Monal restaurant was stunning and beautiful. If any one local or foreigner group want to explore Pakistan. Without any hesitation! Pakistan Guided Tours is highly recommended for all over Pakistan.

Mine one of the favourite places.I have visited the mosque lots of time, but every time I have new excitement.I recommend you peoples visit once in your life.

I love it because Im proud to be a Muslim and the best place for me is mosque and Faisal Mosque its beautiful place the way it construct, its beautiful architecture and it look more beautiful with its surrounding environment. And tomorrow when we reached their ,too much shiny day so we couldnt click pick with my friends but we find peace their which was superior.

Beautiful masjid, if you want to go inside then its best to go while its prayer times so your able to go inside

Visiting biggest mosque of Pakistan is really a good experience for me. I had gone there few years ago and I must want to go there again with friends in few days. How ever mosque has really a good art work.

Beautiful mosque.But please carefully its mosque not a picnic point.Ladies should be cover full body better hijab.

Beautiful masjid but people were having picnic at that holy place.. Govt. should take serious action to stop all nonsense and people should stop having picnic there , that place is for offer prayers not for some playing and making noise

The 5th largest mosque of the world. The best mosque. Also a recreational and peaceful place. My experience was awesome as it is the best place to visit in Islamabad.

The most beautiful mosque in the world and the most biggest though it has some quality of floorings with special quality of anti heat and always squeaky clean floors a fresh look with beautiful vistas around it makes it more interesting and amazing ablution areas are so perfect like in jeddah as it is also made my Arabic man it’s a very lovely place for religious people to pray and also for tourist so that they can see the amazing setup of Mosque

Amazing architecture beautiful place even if you are not Muslim a must see place in Islamabad

Loved the mosque. Visited it after decades. The architecture is splendid. Thankfully, its well maintained. I dont know why kids are not allowed in the women section. I understand we need to observe silence but special considerations should be given to people travelling from afar. Overall, very refreshing and spiritual experience.

Mashallah! This is a architectural masterpiece. Considering it’s been a few decades since it was built, still remains a sublime bit of symmetrical design. Spent all day here longing to go back again, Inshaallah.

Its a beautiful mosque in the lap of margalla hills. Its iconic landmark of Islamabad and visible from various locations of Islamabad. This was built in 60s in collaboration and financial assistance of the then ruler of Saudi Arabia, King Faisal. The mosque was named after him. The road leading to this mosque from Faizabad is also named as Faisal avenue. Its very heartening to mention here that unfortunately, our people do not value our assets and leave no stone unturned in spoiling it. People have made it picnic point instead of a worship place. Waste material, plastic bottles etc. may b seen around.

Beautiful place for prayer. Now a days this is more picking place than prayer. Peoples mostly come here only for visit or picking but not for prayer. There is separate area for women’s for praying. Now a days, due to COVID-19 all pool are dry, no water and shower. There are around 10000 people can prayer in the hall and overall more than 40000 people can pray here. Good maintenance overall with all necessary facilities for prayer.

Unique, beautiful and charming structure which has been maintained properly. It is a clam place in week days. The view of mountains along with beauty of the mosque is peaceful.The visitors need to realize that it is a sacred place and they should act like it. This place should be respected and its not a picnic point.

It is good but people need to think its a Masjid......at least pray there when ever you and respect the house of Allah....

Its a very famous masjid of pakistan . Very very populr place of pakistan . Vistor and tourist place. And all around mountain . Margala hills. Very very beautifull palce. All muslim and non muslim visit and very peacefull place.

Faisal masjid is famous masjid of pakistan in Islam abad .

A gift of King Shah Faisal to the people of Pakistan. Amazing piece of Architecture. Beautiful location in The capital Islamabad. One can say that it is heart of the Capital. It has vast Parking space for the vehicles. People all over the Pakistan come here to see this amazing piece of work and dedication. One can spend a whole day in its courtyard which very vast. Form This mosque Margalla Hills looks so beautiful that I have short of words for explaining the beautification of the place. If you want to see calmness of the place you should visit by yourself.

Its a very beautiful and the largest mosque in Pakistan also a worlds 3rd largest mosque in the world. Located in Capital of Pakistan, Islamabad.

It is always an awesome experience to visit this grand mosque of Pakistan. It is situated at the start of a beautiful valley of margallah hills and there is a famouse hiking track called Trail 6 starts behind this mosque.It has a unique architecture, with four high minarts, at each corner, the huge mosque has no pillar and that makes it one of the wonderful piece of construction in the world. It has space for millions of people for offering prayers, with separate reserved are for ladies.However, its not easy for people on wheelchair to go there as easy because of stairs

Beautiful Masjid..... We enjoyed too much.. Very happy to visit it.

Most peaceful and soulful place in islamabad. Children would love to visit this place. Just bring your own food or snacks here. Food quality around such place is very average.

A place of peace and tranquillity... masjid design is awesome... beautiful reconstructed between the hills of Margalla...

FAISAL MOSQUE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOSQUE NOT JUST IN PAKISTAN BUT ALSO IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

The Faisal Mosque is a mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan and is the national mosque of Pakistan. Upon completion it was the largest mosque in the world and is currently the fifth largest mosque in the world and the largest in South Asia. It is located on the foothills of Margalla Hills in Islamabad. The mosque features a contemporary design consisting of eight sides of concrete shell and is inspired by a Bedouin tent. The impetus for the mosque began in 1966 when King Faisal bin Abdul-Aziz supported the initiative of the Pakistani Government to build a national mosque in Islamabad during an official visit to Pakistan. In 1969, an international competition was held in which architects from 17 countries submitted 43 proposals. The winning design was that of Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay. Forty-six acres of land were assigned for the project and the execution was assigned to Pakistani engineer and workers.Construction of the mosque began in 1976 by National Construction Limited of Pakistan, led by Azim Khan and was funded by the government of Saudi Arabia, at a cost of over 130 million Saudi riyals (approximately 120 million USD today). King Faisal bin Abdul Aziz was instrumental in the funding, and both the mosque and the road leading to it were named after him after his assassination in 1975. King Faisal bin Abdul-Azizs successor Shah Khalid laid the foundation stone for the mosque in October 1976 and signed the construction agreement in 1978. Basic information of the mosque can be found written on the foundation stone. On 18 June 1988, the first prayer was held, although the mosque was completed in 1986. The mosque grounds along with being a building for prayer, also used to house the International Islamic University some years ago but has since relocated to a new campus in 2000. Some traditional and conservative Muslims criticised the design at first for its unconventional design and lack of a traditional dome structure.

Great place to visit at least once but keep in mind if you want access inside the mosque you have be there at the time of the prayer any other time you will find it to be closed other then that you can walk around the mosque with easy there are many fries and corn sellers around the car parking area. Another thing is that please wear socks as you will be asked to remove shoes you have on.

Its so peaceful and iconic structure must visit once in life

A very attractive and beautiful mosque situated in the Capital of Pakistan, Islamabad. It is present near the Margala Hills. It is very attractive due to its structure, charm and beauty beside the hills of Margala.

Well managed and is the biggest mosque visited for both ladies and gents

This is the true heritage of Pakistan. I was very much excited to see this Mosque. However strict actions need to be taken for those who throw garbage inside mosque.

Beautiful Nature.Peace with Cold Weather.A Place to visit and pay the Prayers for Muslims.

Mosque is too much beautiful ️,And the sanobar tree

Beautifully constructed mosque. Basically it is a complete Islamic center which include a prayer area , library and the study area. It was very necessary to have a complete institute like this one for creating a well educated and well mannered generation...

Absolutely beautiful, loved the place. Too bad you cannot take any pictures inside. Definitely worth the visit.

Beautiful and Peaceful place with beautiful scenery around it. Mountains full of greenery makes the look awesome and mind blowing.

One of the beautiful masjid in Pakistans capital.. with splendid architectural design surrounded by mountains

This place is designed to offer pray. Place of worship and Nikah Bounding for new life. A place with beautiful equipments and infrastructure to attract tourists. A gift for Pakistan from Saudi King H. H. Shah Faisal.Please keep it in mind that this is place of peace and harmony so avoid that activities which are not good for ethics.

A peaceful place and home of Allah all Mighty. Everyone feels better once he visit.

The eye-popping Shah Faisal Mosque, nestled at the foot of the Margalla Hills, is one of Asias largest and reflects an eclectic blend of ultramodern and traditional architectural design styles. Topped by sloping roofs (a stark contrast to the traditional domes found on most mosques), the main prayer hall and courtyard is said to hold around 100,000 people. Most of its cost (pegged at about US$120 million today) was a gift from King Faisal of Saudi Arabia.

Classic art of construction.Amazing experience.Must visit

Beautiful Masjid in pakistan and 1 lac people ofering preyer

One of the best and beautiful historical place to visit with family ️But I dont understand why people intentionally pollute the area with wrappers and shoppers and stuff.It is really disappointing for us how we behave or how we live with such animal like sense.Thats why Middle and lower class cant improve themselves and blame the elite class for having so much income and luxury lifestyle thats because they have improved their lifestyle they have contributed their part to the society and got rewarded for it If us middle class do the same and improve our thinking our way of dealing with environment, people and work we can improve too.But we wont because this what we have been taught.

Its the place for the worship. Its the place of love and peace. Every sensible human love this place.

Such a beautiful place to visit. Best times are at night or at sunset for me

Faisal masjid is extremely beautiful and well designed near margalla hills in E7 Sector near to centaurus tower everyone must visit

Masha Allah, good experience..But disappointed from too much feminine crowd on veranda, they use to wear inappropriate dresses.

Faisal Mosque is an iconic structure, just amazing.....the cleanliness however remains questionable. Upkeep and maintenance is very low and if it continues like this soon the deterioration will destroy the whole structure. Public treats the area as a picnic spot and even the toilets have broken doors.Concerned authorities should take immediate notice and amend affairs before we lose such an iconic landmark forever.

It’s so beautiful and peaceful here! Mashallah

Itself a wonder of the World,Situated in the Heart of Islamabad.Faisal Masjid, designed by Turkish architecture.

Its a beautiful place, good mosque to visit. It is huge and has big yards which makes it a windy place. I loved that.The ladies area for prayer inside of the mosque is open mostly during prayer times. The security does not allow for young kids to go up in the womens area so you may have to pray outside if you have young kids.We went yesterday and they were collecting 40 rupees per car for entry. Not sure if they may increase or decrease the price.

Great tourist place. Tourists must visit

The beautiful Faisal Mosque was built But i have to say with regret Now the government has completely removed the attention on this mosque. All the services here are absolutely poor.sometime would not be able to get water hereSo people are worried about how to do wazu And how to pray. So I will request the government Lets improve the security here and Spend a little money here And make everything here better and Solve peoples problems If possible people who come from far away should be provided free food here So that people come to this place And remember, some service is being provided here, But I have to say with regret that People who visit here.And I would also say that there is a ticket for going inside it. And here the security should be restored inside And here people should be provided free food From government

Lovely place really felt good while visiting here, specially my kids really enjoyed

Faisal Mosque, An Incredible Architectural Achievement.If Youre Travelling From Rawalpindi towards Islamabad, You Get To See It From Miles Away. Situated Between The Margalla Hills, This Master Piece Stands Out .Its a Perfect Place for a Family Day Out. Built in 80s It Still Looks as It was Recently Built, Thats How Much Attention to Detail Was Given When Created.

It was nice Place ..But there was No food Stall nearby the Mosques and shoes stand Would charge money

Masjid in islamabad.Today visit and offer maghrib prayer. Alhamdolilah.

Love The Memorable Trip To Faisal MASJID ISLAMABAD......

A beautiful masjid must visit once

The architectural style of faisal masjid is amazing with its tall minarets seems to touching the sky.Also the parking side and apartments are fully furnished and have capacity to hold maximum comers.The view of Margalla hills from masjid is just captivating.Must visit place in The capital.

One of the best places to visit in Pak. Please keep it clean

No doubt it is an islamic master piece and one of the most beautiful and scenic mosque in the heart of margalla hills i haver ever seen, but nowadays it becomes only a picnic point and there is no one even females who follow yhe norms of a mosque.If you really want to see its beauty and have some inner piece then you should visit in FAJAR time.

The best n my fav place to visit with family and experience the beauty of Islamic architecture n environment

It is a modern architectural masterpiece. It has a pillarless room and is designed like a tent pegged in desert. Its roof may move allowing sun to fall in the hall.Besideit there is shrine of President Zia ul Haq Shaheed. The architect of Afghan Jihad victory.

MASHAALLAH BEAUTIFULL MOSQUE

One of the most beautiful, spacious mosque in the most beautiful City of Pakistan. Very spiritual place to offer prayers. A tourist attraction due to its location as well as design.

Love the stay and the Hangout, just a bit felt odd when saw couples dating and at such Pious Spot.
