Siddiqa Fatima Zahra Mosque

The Siddiqa Fatima Zahra Mosque features nine domes, including a central dome measuring 22 meters in height and 16 meters in diameter, alongside four towering minarets.

Construction of this religious structure began in February 2008 and reached completion in June 2011, funded by Member of Parliament Hassan Jowhar with 1.2 million Kuwaiti dinars.

Iranian and Indian artisans worked continuously for eight months to craft intricate designs using marble imported from Iran throughout the 3,200-square-meter religious complex.

The mosque accommodates 4,000 worshippers, with separate prayer spaces for 3,500 men and 500 women, plus parking facilities for 1,000 vehicles near Kuwait International Airport.

The design replicates the architectural elements of the Taj Mahal, incorporating white and light brown marble patterns after obtaining permission from the Indian Embassy in Kuwait.
