Education City Mosque (Minaretein)
مسجد المدينة التعليمية
Two steeply leaning minarets and a floating prayer hall make this Doha's most avant-garde contemporary mosque.
The Education City Mosque, also known as the Minaretein (Two Minarets) Mosque, was completed in 2015 and designed by Spanish architects. Its two white minarets, each about 90 meters high, twist and lean upward. The prayer hall is supported by five columns, symbolizing the five pillars of Islam. The ceiling inside is covered with verses from the Quran, and below is a courtyard with water features. Visitors can enter outside prayer times. Women should cover their hair and wear long sleeves and long trousers or a long skirt. The mosque is closed to visitors on Friday mornings. Getting there: take the Green Line metro to Education City station and transfer to the free Education City tram, or take a taxi.
