The Al Rajhi Grand Mosque is a famous landmark in Riyadh. Built with a contribution from the Al Rajhi family, it is an important place of prayer for Muslims. It is also considered a community gathering place for social occasions like Eid and for conducting sizable community meetings. The Al Rajhi Grand Mosque is one of the most important Islamic institutions in the city and the biggest mosque in Riyadh. It is also regarded as an architectural marvel. It is significant to highlight that only adherents of the Muslim faith are permitted entry to the mosque. Despite this, you should still include the Al Rajhi Grand Mosque on your list of things to do in Riyadh. The structure itself is stunning and attractive. The mosque has two libraries, forensic science classes, an automated utility system, a men's hall with a capacity of 18,000 people, and a women's hall with a capacity of 2,500 people. Over seven languages are used to translate Juma'ah Kotbah (Friday prayers), and various LCD screens are available for hearing-impaired individuals. The facade features classic rock-based tiles in the style of a typical mosque. The mosque has elegant lighting that makes it appear impressive at night.
