Princess Latifa Bint Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Grand Mosque, Mosque in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Princess Latifa Bint Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Grand Mosque is a mosque in the Al Rahmaniyah East district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It sits on King Faisal Specialist Road after its intersection with Al Urubah Street, facing Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital, and was built by an Indian contracting company in nine months.
The mosque was built by a specialized Indian contracting company and completed in nine months. It was established through the patronage of Princess Latifa bint Sultan bin Abdulaziz, which gave the mosque its name.
The mosque serves as a local gathering point where residents from both sides of the neighborhood come together for Friday prayers and Ramadan tarawih. Its clean interior and human touches make it a place people describe as comfortable and reassuring.
The mosque is easy to reach by car and sits near a busy junction, so crossing on foot requires care. Visitors should plan to arrive early for Friday prayers or Ramadan evenings, as crowds gather quickly and parking fills up.
A proposal has been made to build a pedestrian bridge linking the mosque to the western side of Al Rahmaniyah, near the hospital, to prevent accidents. The idea includes making the bridge visually match the mosque and the street, rather than using plain iron like some other footbridges in Riyadh.
