Omar Bin Al-Khattab Mosque, Historical mosque in Dumat al-Jandal, Saudi Arabia

The Omar Bin Al-Khattab Mosque features a spiral minaret with a pyramidal base constructed primarily from brick materials.

The mosque was built during the Umayyad Caliphate period and underwent significant renovation by the Saud family in 1793 to adjust the prayer hall orientation.

The mosque carries the name of Rashidun caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab, although historical records question his direct involvement in its construction.

This religious structure stands next to Marid Castle, making it part of a notable architectural complex in the Al Jawf Province.

The minaret of Omar Bin Al-Khattab Mosque holds the distinction of being the first and oldest of its type in North Arabia.
