Hours, prices and transport can change, so check the relevant organisation's latest notice before you go.
Grozny: Heart of Chechnya · 2008
Sources record construction beginning in the late 1990s, stopping during war, resuming in 2006 and opening on 17 October 2008. A central dome, four minarets, stone façades and park setting reference Istanbul's Sultan Ahmed Mosque and symbolise reconstructed Grozny. It is walkable within the centre; from the airport use a pre-arranged transfer or taxi because no verified public route is published.
Argun: Aimani Kadyrova Mosque · 2014
A regional religious-tourism register dates its opening to 16 May 2014. Its contemporary form and lighting differ from Grozny's Ottoman-referential architecture. Grozny–Argun time and public transport depend on traffic and schedules, so no fixed duration is claimed; plan with a local taxi or verified regional service.
Shali: Prophet Muhammad Mosque · 2019
The mosque opened on 23 August 2019. Its scale, white-stone appearance, dome/minaret composition and landscape make it a major regional stop. Driving time from Grozny varies with traffic and origin; plan a day trip by taxi or a verified regional marshrutka. Official events and Friday crowds can alter access.
