Al-Serkal

Al-Serkal, Ottoman-style mosque in Boeung Kak, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Al-Serkal is an Ottoman-style mosque in Phnom Penh featuring two tall minarets that flank a central dome. The walls are decorated with rose and turquoise tiles from Algeria, and intricate mosaics with a large chandelier adorn the interior beneath the dome.

The first mosque on the site opened in 1968, funded by the Emirati Al Serkal family; the French source names it the Dubai-Phnom Penh international mosque and credits a Saudi donation. It was demolished in 2012. A replacement gifted by the United Arab Emirates, costing about $2.6 million including $400,000 in urban tax, opened in 2014 and carries the donor family's name.

The mosque carries the name of its donor, the Emirati Al-Serkal family, who funded the 2014 reconstruction; the earlier 1968 building was known as the Dubai-Phnom Penh International Mosque. The new complex includes a large prayer hall under a dome and a smaller adjoining hall for women, with ablution buildings on each side.

The mosque is located near the Boeung Kak area and is easily accessible by taxi or tuk-tuk. Visitors should be aware that there are regular prayer times and modest clothing is expected.

The 2014 replacement cost about $2,600,000, including a $400,000 urban planning tax, and was named after its donor, the Al-Serkal family of the United Arab Emirates. The earlier 1968 mosque on the site was known as the Dubai-Phnom Penh International Mosque.
