Getting There

Public Transport
From anywhere in Plateau, you can take a SOTRA bus or a 'woro-woro' (shared taxi) to the mosque. SOTRA buses are a cost-effective option, with single fares around 200 XOF. 'Woro-woros' operate on fixed routes and charge around 100-200 XOF per seat. Look for buses or 'woro-woros' heading towards the Plateau's administrative district and ask the driver to drop you off near the Mosque.
-
Taxi
Taxis are readily available throughout Abidjan. You can hail one on the street or use a ride-hailing app. A short taxi ride from most parts of Plateau to the Mosque will typically cost between 500-1500 CFA francs, but it's advisable to negotiate the fare beforehand. Ensure the driver knows the Mosque Salam du Plateau.
-
Walking
If you are already in the Plateau district, walking to the Mosque is a viable option. The Plateau is a relatively compact area, and the mosque is easily recognizable due to its prominent dome and minaret. Use a map app for guidance, and be aware of your surroundings. No costs involved.
