Many people will be experiencing the day by spending it reflecting on the time ahead and challenges to be put before them by attending the local Mosque, Mushallah or Prayer facility. Within the Perth City area there are a number of such facilities scattered throughout the city.


Northbridge Mosque located at 427 William St, Perth is the oldest and most established of Perth Mosques and is conveniently located just a short stroll away from the bustling hub of Northbridge Precinct. There are facilities for Wahdu and separate facilities for the Men and Women who attend. The Mosque is open for each Salah session through the day.
