The Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque (also known as the Grand Mosque of Riyadh) is one of the largest mosques in Saudi Arabia. It is open, however, only to Muslim visitors. The mosque is spread over an area of 16,800 square metres with two massive libraries, furnished separately for women and men. Its most beautiful feature is the brownstone which, when lit at night, displays a mesmerising golden visual.
Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque is an old structure that has recently been reconditioned to reflect Islamic architecture. The mosque is quite an active place of worship, and the area's atmosphere best resonated during the hours of prayer. It is conveniently located and is a walkable distance from the Deira Souq, Governor's Palace and Masmak Fortress. It also joins the Judgement Palace through two bridges.
