The Professional Commuter

Erected in 1976 under the instruction of former First Lady Imelda Marcos, the Golden Mosque (or formally Masjid al-Dahab) and its completion was meant to coincide with the state visit of then Libyan premier, Muammar al-Gaddafi.

Masjid al-Dahab or the Golden Mosque, with its gilded central dome, is located at the heart of the city of Manila.

To commute to Golden Mosque – Quiapo:

1. Go to Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene.
2. Walk your way towards A. Bautista Street (formerly Barbosa Street). Use the Lacson Underpass to get you on the other side of Quezon Boulevard (still at Hidalgo Street).
3. Continue walking until you reach the corner of Hidalgo and A. Bautista Streets.
4. At the corner, turn right and walk your way along A. Bautista Street until you reach the farthest end (where Globo de Oro Street is, three blocks away).
5. Once you’re at Globo de Oro Street, turn left and walk towards the end of the street. There you’ll see the entrance to the Golden Mosque.
