Futuristic Mosque in Doha

Bright sunlight fills vast spaces, the white color of the walls and not a single sharp corner, streams and waterfalls are interrupted by pedestrian bridges ... Yes, this is a mosque! I would never have thought that a mosque could have such a futuristic architecture. Education City Mosque in Doha. It is located on the campus, and the Faculty of Islamic Disciplines is also located here. A true masterpiece of modern architecture, which attracts attention even in photographs and excites the imagination in reality.

If you like modern architecture and design, if you are close to the style of objects created by the architectural bureau of Zaha Hadid (although this project is not hers), feel free to add this object to your wish list. Indeed, it is only for the sake of this mosque that you should come to Doha or delay between Qatar Airways flights, especially since a visa to Qatar is no longer needed, and during a long stopover in Doha, the airline provides free hotel accommodation in the city. In my ranking of the most beautiful mosques, the first place is now shared by the mosque in Abu Dhabi and this modern mosque in Doha.

This building is a university, or rather the Faculty of Islamic Disciplines, and is located slightly away from the center of the capital, and getting here is not so simple. But he who seeks must find!

The building was designed by the architectural bureau Mangera Yvars Architects (London / Barcelona). The mosque seats up to 1800 people, the height of the minarets is 90 meters.

In order to get into the university building, you need to register in the visiting journal at the reception and turn in the photo equipment. You can take pictures here only on smartphone cameras. I also talked with one of the teachers, who spoke a little about the mosque itself and the university, showed several training rooms.
