Sharif Hussein Bin Ali Mosque Guide
A Spiritual Oasis: The Grand Mosque of Aqaba Guide
The Sharif Hussein Bin Ali Mosque is a stunning example of modern Islamic architecture and a prominent landmark in Aqaba. Named after Sharif Hussein bin Ali, the leader of the Great Arab Revolt, this grand mosque serves as a central place of worship for the local community and a beautiful site for visitors to admire. Its elegant design and serene atmosphere offer a peaceful respite from the bustling city. The mosque was built to replace an older, smaller mosque that could no longer accommodate the growing population of Aqaba. It stands as a testament to the city's Islamic heritage and its commitment to providing a space for spiritual reflection. The architecture blends traditional Islamic elements with modern design principles, creating a visually striking and functional place of worship. Visitors are welcome to admire the mosque's exterior and interior architecture, including its intricate geometric patterns, soaring minarets, and spacious prayer hall. Please remember that this is an active place of worship, and visitors should dress respectfully (covering shoulders and knees) and be mindful of those who are praying. The mosque is particularly beautiful at night when it is illuminated.
