The Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Mosque is located in the city of Foz do Iguaçu, in southern Brazil, and borders Paraguay and Argentina. The city – famous for the Iguazu waterfalls – is home to the second largest Arab community in Brazil, with more than 12,000 members.
The building was officially opened on March 23, 1983. The mosque stands out in the natural landscape, surrounded by a huge area of tropical forest. The building has a spacious main prayer hall that covers 400m² of the total built area of 600m². In the main prayer hall, there is a beautiful Mihrab embedded in the back wall of the mosque, and which indicates the direction to the Holy Mosque of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
