I enjoyed being there, the design, arts , Islamic architecture and materials used, the location of the mosque are fabulous.

Preciosa mezquita. Hemos ido dos días por la proximidad al hotel, uno de tarde y otro de noche. Por la tarde abre a las 19:30 imprescindible llevar para tapar cabello y brazos. Con la suerte que nos dejaron acceder a zona mujeres.

Beautiful, elegant and an authentic Mosque called King Hussein.
Designed with an Andalusian style and taste. Very well prepared, for the first time I experience it at mosques, it has internal ground heater to warm your legs and feet.
I loved praying there.

Beautiful mosque. I prefer this over King Abdullah I mosque.
The Friday Khutbah here was very good and relevant.

People lay carpet on the tiles outside to accommodate the high demand on Fridays.

Free parking inside which is amazing.

Wudu facilities are good and large.

If i ever go back to Jordan, i would definitely come here again and bring family & friends.

Amazing architecture and islamic site in amman.
You should visit.
I liked the most the green landscapes, and open areas.

Not a sight for tourists!! Apparently during COVID the mosque cannot be visited by non-Muslims. This includes the surrounding area - ie. you can’t even get close to the mosque to take outside picture. Don’t waste time and money to come here at the moment. Sadly, no official tourism or mosque website exists with relevant information for tourists.

Such a nice tourist attraction but wish they let it opens at least till Esha prayer continuously without closing , guards asked us to leave direct after Aser prayers because they are closing it till Maghreb

The Largest mosque in Jordan ,Build in 2005 , the mosque was designed by the Egyptian architect - Dr. Khaled Azzam.
The Mosque and held up to 5500 prayer.
Sourand by the king hussein Park.
Built in the Islamic, Omayyad-Ottoman architectural style, but very much Ammanesque in look, the mosque has four minarets and one large dome.
The mosque has huge Car Parking and good setup for disabled people.
