Bahrain's largest mosque, in the Juffair district of Manama, built by Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa in 1987 and named in honour of Ahmed Al Fateh. It covers 6,500 square metres and holds more than 7,000 worshippers. It is crowned by a huge dome of about 54 tonnes made entirely of fibreglass, once the largest of its kind in the world. Inside hang a giant Austrian chandelier and rings of lamps, with doors of Indian teak, Italian marble floors and Kufic calligraphy. Since 2006 the mosque has also housed Bahrain's National Library. Non-Muslim visitors are welcome on free guided tours in several languages, and robes and headscarves for women are provided at the entrance. Visits run Saturday to Thursday, 09:00–16:00, with no visits on Fridays, per the official Bahrain tourism site, and no tours during prayers. Head to the reception desk when you arrive.
