Beautiful mosque. Try to avoid prayer times specially in Friday’s since it could get very congested.

Jami Ul-Afar is a great mosque sitting in the confines of Second Cross Street in Colombo. The mosque is quite prominent and stands out with its red and white striped colour, almost like a candy! Built by Habibu Labbe Saibu Labbe, the mosque is one of the many culturally rich places to visit in Colombo. A dreamy synthesis of Indian, Indo-Islamic, Neoclassical, and Gothic styles of architecture can be seen here - a true cultural gem

The first thing that you will notice about the grand mosque of Jami Ul-Alfar is that of its candy-like red and white striped exterior. Designed and constructed by Habibu Labbe Saibu Labbe, Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque stands tall as a witness to the cultural gems of Sri Lanka, and as a perfect amalgamation of four unique styles of architecture – Indian, Gothic, Neo-classical, and Indo-Islamic architecture.
