Why you should visit it

Even many locals don't know that you can climb to the top of the minaret. It has a gorgeous view. With the discomforts of tourist voyeurism, cultural consumerism, and political demonstrations of economic might aside, this is an awesome (and very quick) thing to do in Kampala.

Special tip

Women have to dress in traditional Muslim outfits, and get an exhausting walk up the stairs to the best view. The Muslim outfit is provide by guides.
