Al Husseini Mosque, Ottoman-style mosque in downtown Amman, Jordan
The Al Husseini Mosque features two tall minarets, a large central courtyard with a fountain, and intricate Islamic calligraphy adorning its walls.
Built in 1924 on the site of an ancient mosque established by Caliph Omar Ibn al-Khatab, the structure stands where a Byzantine cathedral once existed.
The mosque serves as the main religious center in Amman, where scholars from Islamic institutions provide daily religious lectures and Quran teachings.
Located at the intersection of four main streets in old Amman, the mosque includes separate prayer areas for women and a library with religious resources.
The mosque walls incorporate pink marble reaching 20 meters high with a thickness of 1.5 meters, following architectural principles adapted to Amman's cold winters.
