Kuwait's largest mosque, the Grand Mosque, is known for its conventional Islamic architecture. There are elements of Persian structural design characterized by a central dome, pointed arches and pillar arcades. The dome of the mosque is engraved with the Asma al-hosna, the 99 names of God, as depicted by the Quran.
The mosque is not as impressive from the outside as it is from the inside, with a capacity of 10,000 people! As you enter, you will be mesmerized by the blue and gold combination, the Andulasian style patterned tiles and ornamental calligraphy. The Amir's room which leads on from the prayer hall, is not to be missed. Visitors must be attired conservatively, in loose-fitting clothes preferably. Head scarves are available if you do not carry your own.
