The mosque stands in the eastern part of Marneuli, about two kilometres from the Imam Husayn mosque. For a town of this size several mosques are ordinary: each serves its own quarter.
Marneuli was declared a town in the second half of the twentieth century and grew quickly as the centre of an agricultural district. Tbilisi is about thirty kilometres away on a good road. The eastern quarters give out onto fields and orchards, beyond which lies the Borchaly plain.
Agree any photography inside with the community, as shooting without permission is not accepted. The site remains part of the everyday life of the area, and that deserves respect.
Tips
- Leave spare time for the climb.
- In summer bring a hat, as there is almost no shade.
- Friday is the busiest time, so plan around it.
Getting there
- Leave the car at the nearest street and continue on foot.
- Navigate by the coordinates, as there may be no signs on the approach.
