It is Atlanta's oldest mosque, though recently renovated, and includes marble throughout with intricately hand-painted walls and ceilings. The mosque is always open to its members, but visitors are welcome by appointment (you can find a request form on its website). The mosque features a conference room in addition to its large prayer room and hosts many of metro-Atlanta's big events and lectures about the Islamic faith.
