The Tahara Mosque is a place of prayer in central Marseille, minutes from the Vieux-Port and Belsunce. It welcomes worshippers for the five daily prayers and for the Friday prayer.
Getting there
The mosque is well served by public transport. Metro line 1 or 2 at Vieux-Port station, or Noailles station, leaves you a short walk away. Tramway T2 also runs through the area. Walking from La Canebière and Cours Belsunce takes a few minutes. By car, using the central car parks is easiest, as traffic is dense.
The neighbourhood
The Marseille centre around Belsunce and Noailles concentrates one of the oldest and liveliest commercial fabrics in the city. The Noailles market and Cours Belsunce host butchers, grocers, tea rooms and restaurants from North Africa, West Africa and the Middle East. Proximity to the Vieux-Port and La Canebière makes the area a natural crossing point.
Practical advice for a visit
The hall serves a downtown community and passing worshippers. Attendance is heavy on Friday noon and during Ramadan Tarawih night prayers. A first visit is easier on a weekday, 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 Marseille centre has several other nearby prayer venues. The Grands Carmes Mosque in the 2nd, the Bilal Ben Rabah Mosque, the Khalid Ibn Al-Walid Mosque, the As-Sunna Grand Mosque in the 3rd and the El Imane Mosque are among the options accessible from the city centre.
