Al-Sha'ab Mosque

Stunning mosque inside and outside, definitely a must go spot when visiting Sana'. Arrange transportation as it is a little far from historic downtown.

Al Saleh Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع ٱلصَّالِح‎, romanized: Jāmiʿ Aṣ-Ṣāliḥ) is a modern mosque in Sana'a that is the largest in Yemen. It lies in the southern outskirts of the city, south of the Al Sabeen Maternal Hospital. It was inaugurated in November 2008 by the late Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.[1] The mosque, 27,300 square metres (294,000 sq ft) in size, has a central hall that is 13,596 square metres (146,350 sq ft) with an occupancy capacity of 44,000.[2] The building cost nearly US$60 million to construct.[3][4] Open 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".[5]

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.

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

Great masjid, very beautiful

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.

It's big

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!

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".

History:-
Saleh was criticized in 2008 for undertaking such a grand project when the country was suffering from socio-economic problems. Several accidents occurred during its construction. The minarets collapsed multiple times, resulting in some deaths. After these occurrences, the site was used to build the Islamic college and the garden next to the mosque. It is also mentioned that Hayel Said, a local businessman, was threatened with reprisals and annulment of his business licenses if he did not pay for the building of the mosque.

The mosque was the site of fighting during the conflict between Houthi and pro-Saleh forces in December 2017. At the time, rumours circulated in Sana’a that the Houthis intended to repaint the mosque’s dome green.
