The number of beautiful Mosques in Kuwait are countless, especially in Kuwait City. A building need not be extravagant to be able to catch one's eyes. I'll be showing you guys lovely looking mosques of simple architecture and old designs that have survived in Kuwait for many years and hopefully will continue to do so!
The photograph below is of an old Mosque in Kuwait City called Masjed "Yassin Al Qenai". This mosque's construction had begun since 1784 so it has been around for a really long time. As you can see the design is very simple and modest yet very fine. Of course it has been renewed over the years...
This Mosque below is one of the very well known mosques here in Kuwait and you must have seen it some point when driving down the Gulf Road. It's called "Sheikh Nasser Mosque" located in Ras Salmiya. The mosque was completed in 1981. It has a very unique design and is visually unusual. It's roof is made up of steps into a triangular shape with a minaret that has a similar design.
This is the Entrance of the "Sheikh Nasser" Mosque.
This beautiful mosque in the photograph above is located in Down Town, Kuwait. It is known as the "Al Khalifa Mosque" and is one of the first large and oldest mosques in Kuwait.
In the photograph above is a mosque that was built recently and is lo
cated right next to the Souq Mubarakiya. It has a very modern design. The photograph next to it is a picture of the entrance of the mosque with the door made of wood surrounded by intriquitely placed patterns.
And finally we end with the Grand Mosque, known as "Al masjed Al Kabeer", that is also located in Kuwait City. This is the largest mosque in Kuwait. Light penetrates through 144 windows of the mosque and opens 21 teakwood doors for prayers. The mosque is designed with the 99 names of God all around. You can sense stability and power from the usage of symmetry with the design that which makes it attractive to the human eye. It is currently under construction.
