Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque is a large prayer hall in Doha built with sandstone and topped by 28 large domes. Inside, red carpets and simple chandeliers create the prayer spaces across a multi-level complex.
The building opened in 2011 and takes its name from an 18th-century Islamic scholar from central Arabia. Its establishment became a major milestone in Doha's religious infrastructure.
The building draws from traditional Qatari architectural design with features echoing earlier prayer halls built in the region. Visitors can observe how local building traditions remain visible in contemporary Islamic architecture.
The site has separate prayer areas for different groups and parking available on the grounds. Visitors should dress respectfully and be aware of prayer times when planning a visit.
The complex spreads across multiple floors with a library and rooms for Quran memorization. The building also has broadcast systems that allow events to reach audiences beyond the physical space.
