Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque, Beirut Overview
Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque, also known as Blue Mosque, is Lebanon's biggest mosque. It opens onto Martyr's Square right next to Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral. With prime Ottoman architecture, the building is covered with Beiruti yellow sandstone with four minarets standing at 65m.
It has a high dome and square windows covering the ceiling, which allow light to enter the structure. The main hall houses male worshippers, while the prayer hall designated for women can be entered from the other side. The mosque’s chief patron, Rafic al-Hariri, was buried within the mosque after his assassination in 2005 until a separate mausoleum next to the mosque was established in 2015. Its 45m high blue dome and tall minarets have become essential to the Beirut City Centre skyline.
