Khamis Mosque
مسجد الخميس
One of Bahrain's oldest mosques. Its iconic twin minarets date back to around the 11th century.
Khamis Mosque lies on the southwestern outskirts of Manama. It is said to date to the Umayyad era, and the surviving structure dates to around the 11th century, though it has been rebuilt several times. Its twin minarets are its signature feature. The mosque is now a historic monument and is no longer used for prayer. Inside the enclosure you can view the stone walls and minarets up close, and a small visitor center is located on site. Visiting is free. It pairs well with the Barbar Temple and the A'ali burial mounds as a historical route.
