Agadez Musjid is a prominent Musjid in Agadez, Tchirozerine Department, Niger.

It was made of clay and is the tallest mud-brick structure in the world.

The Agadez Musjid is the most prominent religious center located in the central part of the Republic of the Niger, and has been a place of worship for centuries.

The Musjid hosts thousands of Muslims for Friday’s prayers. Every year, Muslims travel long distance to visit the Musjid for tourism and spiritual purposes.

The Musjid was built in 1515 at the time when the city was captured by the Songhai Empire. It was restored and some of it was rebuilt in 1844.

This Musjid was built by Imam Bakhili, a famous Muslim scholar, who originated from the Algeria region. Legend has it that he built this Musjid in a single night between Isha prayer and dawn.

Due to the Musjid bearing some resemblance to the construction techniques used in structures around Timbuktu, it is believed that the Tuareg people went there in order to learn the architectural techniques for the construction of the Musjid. By using local available materials, which were dried in the sun, the builders created a long-lasting durable structure.
