Storie Dixson Musalla

Storie Dixson Wing, University of Sydney, Sydney, Room 200, Darlington NSW 2008

Once being simply used for prayer, over time, the musalla has become dear to our hearts and is often considered our “home away from home” as we gather together and feel the buzz of a friendly, comfortable atmosphere.

Opening hours: 6AM - 10PM

In order to access our Musalla, you need to complete the University of Sydney's Access Form.
