Masjid Al-Nilin, Islamic mosque in Omdurman, Sudan.
The Al-Nilin Mosque stands on the western banks of the Nile River, featuring a modern architectural design with traditional Islamic elements and a tall minaret.
The mosque originated as a thesis project by Gamer Eldawla Eltahir at the University of Khartoum and was constructed between 1976 and 1984 during President Nimeiry's administration.
Located at the convergence point of the two Niles, the mosque functions as a central gathering place for the Muslim community of Omdurman and neighboring areas.
The mosque welcomes visitors throughout the day, with designated prayer times and separate spaces for men and women to conduct their religious practices.
The mosque's position directly faces the meeting point of the Blue and White Nile rivers, reflecting its name which translates to 'The Mosque of the Two Niles'.
