• Nizamiye Mosque - Next stop is the Nizamiye Mosque in Midrand, situated between Johannesburg & Pretoria. It is the largest mosque in the southern hemisphere, showcasing exquisite Turkish craftsmanship and towering minarets.

Construction of the Nizamiye Masjid began in October 2009 and was completed in 2012. The mosque’s design is inspired by the 16th-century Ottoman Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, Turkey, created by Mimar Sinan. The Nizamiye Masjid is scaled to 80% of the Selimiye Mosque. The plans were designed in Turkey and adapted by a South African architect to meet local building standards.
