His Majesty King Saud Mosque (Arabic:مسجد الملك سعود) is aSunniIslammosque, in the city ofJeddah, in the Al-Sharafeyyah District, inSaudi Arabia.

The mosque was designed byAbdel-Wahed El-Wakil and construction was completed in 1987. It is mainly built of bricks and covers an area of 9,700 square metres (104,000 sq ft) with the prayer hall alone covering 2,464 square metres (26,520 sq ft), making it the largest mosque in Jeddah. The largest dome has a span of 20 metres (66 ft) and reaches a height of 42 metres (138 ft). The minaret is 60 metres (200 ft) tall.[1]

The 1987 mosque replaced an earlier mosque structure, built on the same site inc. 1950s, poorly constructed using reinforce concrete.[2]

Architecture

[edit]

The layout is reminiscent of Persianfour-iwan designs, such as theGreat Mosque of Esfahan in Iran. TheMosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan in Cairo in Egypt may have served as a model for the minaret and other features such as the decoration of theattic.

The mosque itself is rectangular, almost square, with a rectangular court built somewhat offset to the west. Fouriwans open to the central court. The iwans are not emphasized as individual structures as in the Persian examples but are mere openings in a large screen wall. The north and south iwans are each set in front of a domed hall that separate four pillared halls to the east and west. The west halls are divided by two pillars each into three naves with two bays. The larger east halls have three naves with five bays and eight pillars each. The east iwan is the largest and connects the court to the largest domed hall that rises between the longer pillared halls in front of theqibla wall.[1][2]

Irregularly shaped rooms fill the triangular spaces between the actual mosque and the outside facade on the north, south and east wall because the mosque is built at an angle to the street grid so that the qibla wall may point toMakkah. The west facade opens to the Medinah Road with a large cubic structure added to the northern end. The minaret of the mosque towers over the south west corner of this structure that has a large iwan opening to the south leading into a domed hall that connects to a corridor that runs along the west wall of the mosque. This large Iwan with the minaret on the left and the mosque connecting at a right angle to the right, both accessible by a flight of steps, form an iconic group that easily catches the eye when looking north along the Medinah road.[2]

The mosque was shortlisted for theAga Khan Award for Architecture in 1989.[1][2] The project was estimated to have costSAR 60,000,000.[2]
