The mosque has a 13-m-high minaret and includes ablution area for both men and women apart from facilities for people with disabilities and the elderly, as well as car parks, said the SDPW in its statement.

Chairman Ali Saeed bin Shaheen Al Suwaidi stressed that the implementation of the project comes within the framework of the SDPW’s endeavours to provide the necessary service facilities for the residents of Dibba Al Hisn and to contribute to driving economic growth and encouraging commercial activities.

Director Mohammed bin Yarouf said the mosque, which has been built over a 330 sq m area, can accommodate about 800 worshippers, it added.
