Overview

About the mosque

In Enfa 1979, a tiny mosque with a 400-person capacity was initially constructed next to the Prince's vacation home. The Prince built a another, far larger mosque with a seating capacity of 5000 because the previous mosque was used to capacity.

Background

History

Enfa, a wealthy suburb, is a region of upper-class homes with few public or communal structures. The predominant kind of housing is individual villas with considerable landscaping; however, a few townhouses or condominiums are also being built along Enfa's eastern border, connecting the area to Casablanca's more open-air feel. The concept of the project was inspired by the Saudi Royalty's practice of constructing miniature mosques next to their homes wherever they stay.
