Mosques • Durrës

Durrës, Albania's second-largest city and a key port on the Adriatic, is home to a modest but expanding network of prayer places for the Muslim community. The city itself hosts at least two prominent listed mosques: Fatih Mosque on Rruga Xhamia and Durrës Mosque on Rruga Aleksander Goga, both located about 1.4 km from the city center. These serve as central landmarks for daily prayers and community gatherings. The mapped coverage indicates that while the immediate city area has a limited number of dedicated mosques, the surrounding region offers additional options for worshippers.

Beyond the city core, the listed prayer places extend into several nearby communes and towns. To the south, Golem Mosque is situated about 10.7 km away in the coastal town of Golem, providing a prayer facility for residents and visitors in that area. Further south, in Kavajë (approximately 17–20 km from Durrës), three mosques are listed: Cete Mosque (also known as Ebu Bekr Mosque), Al-Hidayah Mosque, and Bilal Mosque. These serve the Kavajë community and are accessible via the SH4 highway. To the north and east, the data shows prayer places in Tirana and its suburbs, including Fushë Preze Mosque (22 km), Airport Prayer Room at Tirana International Airport (24 km), Baitul-Awwal Mosque in Kashar (26 km), and several others in Tirana proper such as Boville Mosque, Bleta Mosque, and Dine Hoxha Mosque. The Et'hem Bej Mosque, a historic landmark in Tirana's Skanderbeg Square, is also listed at 30.5 km from Durrës.

This distribution of listed mosques and prayer rooms across Durrës and its surrounding areas—including Golem, Kavajë, Kashar, and Tirana—reflects the presence of Muslim communities in both urban and suburban settings. For Muslims living in or visiting Durrës, the central mosques provide convenient options, while those traveling or residing in nearby towns can find prayer facilities within a reasonable distance. The listings are based on available mapped and verified records, offering a practical starting point for locating prayer places in the region.

When planning your visit, verify the exact address and opening hours of each mosque, as listed details may vary. Distance from Durrës city center ranges from 1.4 km to over 30 km. Contact information is not provided for all mosques, so consider checking local directories or community boards for updated prayer times and events. For airport travelers, the Airport Prayer Room at Tirana International Airport is a convenient option.
