Saudi Mosque

The Saudi Mosque (Mosque Saoudienne, also known as Grande Mosque de Nouakchott) is one of the most prominent landmarks of the Mauritanian capital. It is located in the center of the city, not far from the Presidential Palace and the Chamber of Commerce. Its two high minarets serve as landmarks for many travelers and locals in the sprawling city. Architecturally, it is a spacious building of sand-coloured stone that blends harmoniously into the surroundings. On windy days, its colour almost seems to blend with the dust of the Sahara. The mosque was built with the support of Saudi Arabia and is one of the most important Sunni prayer houses in the country. Enjoy the sight of this impressive building from an outside perspective.
