Summary

edit
Description
English: External view of the oldest mosque in Amman, at the heart of the downtown area and an important gathering place. The mosque receives up to 1,500 worshipers for Dhuhr (noon) prayer, is not only a place of worship, but also a monument to the city’s history as well as a place of many memories for Amman’s older generation. It stands on the site of an earlier mosque that was built during the reign of Caliph Omar Ben Al Khattab’s (634-644 AD) and renovated during the Umayyad era (661-750AD), the documents show.
