The Bilal Ben Rabah Mosque is a place of prayer in the 2nd arrondissement of Marseille, close to the old centre. It welcomes worshippers for the five daily prayers and for the Friday prayer.
Getting there
The 2nd arrondissement stretches from Joliette down to the former harbour. Metro line 2 at Joliette station drops you a few minutes on foot. The tramway and several bus lines complete access to the area. By car, entry runs along the quays, with easier parking in the Terrasses du Port or Major car parks.
The neighbourhood
The 2nd arrondissement has been deeply reshaped by the redevelopment of the docks and the Euroméditerranée project. New buildings sit alongside converted warehouses and historic working-class streets. La Major cathedral dominates the area. The commercial fabric is varied, with several halal butchers and grocers in the surrounding streets and along the routes towards Belsunce.
Practical advice for a visit
The hall serves a local community and attendance rises on Friday noon and during Ramadan Tarawih night prayers. A first visit is easier outside those windows. Shoes come off before entering the prayer hall, clothing should cover shoulders and legs, and women cover their hair. Quiet is expected as soon as you step inside.
Other mosques in Marseille
The centre and the neighbouring arrondissements have several other prayer venues. The Grands Carmes Mosque a few streets away, the Khalid Ibn Al-Walid Mosque in the same arrondissement, the Tahara Mosque, the As-Sunna Grand Mosque in the 3rd and the El Imane Mosque are among the options accessible from the city centre.
