The Great Mosque of Touba is a significant religious site in Senegal, central to the Mouride brotherhood. It's a sprawling complex with towering minarets and intricate designs, reflecting Islamic architecture. Visits are generally possible year-round, but accessibility information is scarce; it's advisable to inquire locally about wheelchair access or other specific needs. Dress modestly and respectfully, as it is a place of worship. While solo visits are feasible, engaging a local guide can enhance the experience by providing insights into the mosque's history and cultural importance. The visit duration typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours, depending on interest level. Costs are generally low, although donations are appreciated. Be mindful of religious events that may restrict access or increase crowds.
