King Abdullah I Mosque is located 3 km east of the Amman citadel and is known best for its magnificent blue dome and soaring minarets. It is the only mosque in Amman which welcomes non-Muslims. It also houses the Islamic Museum which displays many of King Abdullah’s personal items and ancient pottery and coins.
The museum is divided into two parts - one showcasing the manuscripts and monuments of King Abdullah and the other displaying Islamic artefacts of different eras in Jordan. King Hussein built the mosque as a tribute to his grandfather, the first King of Jordan. It is a must-visit to understand contemporary Muslim architecture and learn about the royal family. The mosque also has a fully furnished library with over 20,000 books. It can be reached from anywhere in the city by taxi and is only a few minutes walk away from the Abdali bus station. There is also a separate women’s section that can host up to 500 worshippers.
