Zidani mosque, Ottoman mosque in Tiberias, Israel.
The Zidani Mosque stands near the Sea of Galilee, featuring a single minaret and walls built with alternating black basalt and white stone patterns.
Built in 1743 under the direction of Al-Zahir Al-Omar Al-Zaydani during the Ottoman period, the mosque remained active until the Muslim evacuation of Tiberias in 1948.
The mosque represents the Islamic architectural traditions of the 18th century, incorporating regional design elements while maintaining Ottoman structural characteristics.
Currently closed to the public, the building functions as a storage facility for construction materials and requires substantial restoration work.
The structure bears inventory number 972-2-36 and has also been known by different names including Al-Fawqani Mosque and Al-Amari Mosque.
