Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque, Islamic mosque at Europa Point, Gibraltar
The Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque is a place of worship with white marble walls and golden domes located at Europa Point in Gibraltar. The building houses separate prayer halls for men and women, ritual washing facilities, a library, and a school for religious studies.
The mosque opened in August 1997 as a gift from Saudi Arabia's King Fahd to the Muslim community in Gibraltar. This donation provided the local Muslim population with a dedicated space for their religious practice.
The mosque serves as a central place for Gibraltar's Muslim community to gather for prayers and religious celebrations like Ramadan. It is where people come together to practice their faith and share in religious life.
The mosque is located at Gibraltar's southernmost point and is relatively easy to access. Visitors should note that prayer times are observed and modesty in dress and behavior is expected.
The building stands at a special geographical location where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, near the Strait of Gibraltar. This makes it a rare example of a modern mosque positioned at a strategically important maritime crossroads.
