King Hussein Bin Talal Mosque, better known as the King Hussein Mosque, is the largest mosque in Jordan.[1] Not to be confused with the 1924 Grand Al-Husseini Mosque , also known as King Hussein Mosque, in Downtown Amman.
King Hussein Mosque was built in 2005 in the reign of King Abdullah II of Jordan in West Amman, specifically in Al Hussein Public Parks at King Abdullah II Street near King Hussein Medical Center. The mosque is located at an altitude of 1,013 metres (3,323 ft) above sea level and can thus be seen from most parts of Amman. It is square and features four minarets and marble floors.[2]
