The Hazrati Imam Mosque, a central part of the Hast-Imam Complex in Tashkent, is a significant historical and spiritual tourist destination offering a deep dive into Uzbekistan's Islamic heritage. The complex is generally accessible, though some older sections might have steps; modest dress is required for all visitors, especially women who should cover their heads. Visits can be enjoyed solo, with information often available, but a guided tour is highly recommended for richer historical and cultural insights. While open year-round, spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer the most comfortable weather, avoiding the extreme heat of summer and cold of winter. Entry to the main complex courtyard is typically free, with a nominal fee (a few dollars) usually charged to view specific attractions like the Uthman Quran in the Muyi Mubarak Madrassah. A typical visit duration ranges from 1 to 2 hours to explore the mosque, madrasahs, and mausoleums within the complex, which also houses one of the world's oldest Qurans. Photography is generally permitted, but respect for worshippers during prayer times is crucial.
