Bahrain Al-Khamis Mosque:

All About Bahrain Al-Khamis Mosque:

Al-Khamis Mosque is one of the oldest surviving mosques in the region, located in Sh. Salman Road, is the island's largest mosque. The traditional Islamic detail is sympathetically combined with modern construction techniques. The building also houses the Religious Institute for Islamic Affairs. The original site and foundations are believed to date back to the late 7th century AD. The Al-Khamis Mosque was officially opened on 2 of June in 1988. The two minarets are each 70 meters tall. It is an notable architectural landmark, and is also plays a very important role in the life of the people of Bahrain. For me is one of the best Mosques in Asia or even in the world. Is one of the most ancient monuments of Islam,

in the vicinity is believed to be the first mosque in Bahrain. Inside this temple you can find also a huge library that really worth a visit, especially if you have someone that can translate some of the parts of the Koran. For me a trip to Bahrain will be incomplete with out going to Al-Khamis Mosque and taste the history and architecture of the country's premier tourist attraction.
