KAFD Grand Mosque
Saudi Arabia
The KAFD Grand Mosque is a Friday mosque in the al-Aqeeq neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located within the King Abdullah Financial District. Built in 2017, the 6,103-square-metre (65, 690 sq ft) structure sits on a large urban plaza that functions as a public space and, when needed, outdoor prayer area. Inside, the column-free space can accommodate 1,500 prayer spaces over two levels — a large central hall and a mezzanine. Designed by the Riyadh-based architecture and engineering firm Omrania and Associates, the mosque is inspired by the form of the desert rose.
