Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque (State Grand Mosque)
جامع الإمام محمد بن عبد الوهاب
Qatar's national grand mosque, a sandstone-colored complex covered by 90 domes that can hold about 30,000 worshippers.
Completed in 2011, this national grand mosque draws on traditional Qatari architecture. Its roof is made up of about 90 domes of various sizes. The sandstone-colored stone glows a warm gold in the evening light. The prayer hall inside is simple and spacious, with ornate chandeliers. It is Qatar's largest mosque and can accommodate around 30,000 worshippers. Visitors are welcome outside prayer times. Women should cover their hair and wear long-sleeved, full-length clothing; robes can be borrowed at the entrance. The mosque is closed to visitors at midday on Fridays. Getting there: a taxi from the nearby Red Line metro station takes about 5 minutes. The mosque sits in a residential area west of West Bay.
