The Essalam Mosque welcomes worshippers for the five daily prayers and Friday prayer. It takes on particular importance during the month of Ramadan, with the nightly Tarawih prayers and iftar gatherings, as well as during the celebrations of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
Les Mureaux and its Muslim community
Les Mureaux is a Yvelines commune of around thirty-two thousand inhabitants, on the left bank of the Seine about forty kilometres west of Paris. The local Muslim community is large and diverse, with particularly long-established North African, West African and Turkish roots. The Tarik Ibn Ziyad Mosque, a little further north, complements the town's religious offer.
Access and transport
Les Mureaux station, on Transilien line J from Saint-Lazare and now on the extended RER E, is a few minutes' walk away and connects the town to Paris in about forty minutes. By car, the A13 and N13 serve the town. An urban bus network completes coverage.
Advice for visitors
As in any place of worship, appropriate dress is expected, and shoes must be removed before entering the prayer hall. Friday prayer and major religious holidays attract large crowds; arriving early is recommended.
