King Salman Mosque is a six-story structure named after the king of Saudi Arabia and funded by the Gulf Kingdom.
Once built, King Salman Mosque would become Maldives’ larges mosque, capable of accommodating 6,000 worshippers. It will consist of a library, a center for Holy Quran, multi-purpose halls, classrooms and meeting rooms.
