Modern mosque in Sana'a that is the largest in Yemen. It was inaugurated in November 2008 by the late Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Open also to non-Muslims, the mosque is frequented by tourists, and promotes moderate Islam. Security measures include police and bomb-sniffing dogs. After the Houthi-Saleh split in early December that concluded with the death of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Houthi-led authorities decided to rename the mosque "The People's Mosque".

The largest and most modern mosque in Sanna is simply beautiful.

Al-Saleh Mosque was built in 2008 and accommodates 44,000 people and is considered a shrine for all Yemenis, as its image was printed in one of the Yemeni currencies

One of the most incredible mosques in the world. You see through it the Yemeni touch, the great architecture and deep spirituality. I hope from the government more attention for this miracle mosque.

Great masjid, The largest and most modern mosque & The best tourist place in Sanaa nowadays, with excellent location. This mosque is built by the ex president Ali Abdullah Saleh Alah.

It is the people's masque and it is shame that people warship human being ali abdulla is is one of yemen president and he should not name everything after him he is the one who made all the copration against yemen shame on him and he got what he deserved.

Simply breathtaking! I HIGHLY recommend visiting the Grand Mosque in SANAA. The interior of the mosque is probably the most impressive I have ever seen. The quality and attention to detail is incredible. I highly recommend taking the free public live guided tour which gives you exclusive access to the mosque vs just doing it yourself. On the tour you get to enter the main prayer room which affords you much better picture opportunities. Don’t miss this world wonder! Simply breathtaking!

Fantastic mosque, great architectural design.

A place for prayer, but with an excellent architect, craftsmanship like nowhere else in Yemen, for a grand mosque that represents the whole of Yemen, this must see landmark and religious symbol isn't to be missed

A clear statement of how religion is practiced in this country.

One of the great mosque of Sana'a

A mosque that accommodates a large number of worshipers and is distinguished by its large size and floor area, as well as its outer yard. It also has tight security and staff to keep it clean. I love this place.

It's big

I wish I can visit one day
