Faisal Mosque, Islamabad
🏔️ Tourist Places
Islamabad, F-8
The Faisal Mosque is the national mosque of Pakistan and the fourth largest mosque in the world. Built between 1976 and 1986 at the foot of the Margalla Hills in Islamabad, it was designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay and named after King Faisal bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia who funded its construction. Its unique funnel-shaped structure without a traditional dome, designed to look like a desert Bedouin's tent, is revolutionary in Islamic architecture. The prayer hall can hold 10,000 worshippers and the entire complex accommodates 300,000. It glows magnificently at night.
