Sheikha Salama mosque, Islamic prayer center in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates

The mosque features two minarets and incorporates Moroccan architectural influences throughout its expansive 35,873 square meter complex in the heart of Al Ain.

Constructed in 2011 after demolishing an older structure from 2007, the mosque became a central religious institution in Al Ain until 2021.

Named after the mother of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the mosque represents the deep connection between religious heritage and Emirati leadership.

The prayer center accommodates 4,800 worshippers and includes 1,000 parking spaces, making it accessible for both daily prayers and large gatherings.

Jordanian architect Ja'afar Touqan designed the structure to combine traditional Islamic elements with modern architectural techniques, earning recognition in Saudi Arabia.
