Personal highlights

  1. Gaddafi Mosque: second largest Mosque on the African continent
  2. Architecture: Arabic, African and European styles artfully combined
  3. Minaret: climbing up to get the best 360° view over central Kampala
  4. Tour-Guide: private tour-guide, explaining the seven hills of Kampala
  5. Women: smaller room, because of many excuses not to pray in a Mosque
