Datos rápidos: This mosque has a striking triangular design inspired by a Bedouin tent with 4 towering minarets measuring 79 meters each. It seats around 100,000 worshipers, making it one of the largest mosques worldwide.
Destacados: The mosque's roof lacks traditional domes, instead forming a geometric shape that contrasts sharply with its natural rocky surroundings. A Pakistani architect won a competition for its design, which was funded by the late King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, leaving a unique international connection.
