The mosque is also graced by two imposing minarets, one soaring to an impressive height of 68 meters.
Beyond its aesthetic allure, this mosque is equipped with cutting-edge technology. From state-of-the-art audio systems and simultaneous translation capabilities for six languages (including sign language for the deaf), to water treatment facilities that ensure clean ablution water and irrigation, Aisha Al-Rajhi Mosque prioritizes convenience and accessibility for worshippers.
The mosque's expansive external spaces span approximately 10,899 square meters, accommodating up to 47,084 worshippers, with additional spaces for gatherings and prayer.
