Noor El Hamedia Mosque

Information

The prayer hall, which has a mihrab, or prayer niche, on the opposite wall, is connected to the minaret’s four corner columns through a small entrance. Before 1979, restrooms were added to the northern corner and a passageway connected them to the prayer hall. When the gallery was expanded to nearly fill the entire building in the 1980s, these facilities were doubled. The prayer niche lies in the center of the prayer hall, and it is encircled by a marble frame with a segmental onion dome in bas-relief. Without attempting to point it toward Mecca, the central arch is symmetrically positioned.
