Very beautiful mosque building. Well tended park. Near the public beach, on a main street of Aqaba.

In between the Souq and the beach there is a beautiful white mosque with an inviting landscape, where you are free to worship or reflect in peace.
The mosque was named after Hussein bin Ali who was the Sharif and Emir of Mecca from 1908 until 1917. Known as the initiator of the Arab Revolt, Al Sharif Hussein Bin Ali stood against the increasingly nationalistic Ottoman Empire during the course of the First World War.
With its pristine white structure, intricate glass windows and soaring minarets, Al Hussein Bin Ali mosque is a beacon of Islamic architecture and a moving sight among the hustle and bustle of city life. It also boasts the largest dome among Jordan’s’ mosques. It is considered a main mosque for Aqaba’s citizens. Visitors can quietly stroll around the elegant interior and watch the city’s daily life at its most tranquil and pious.response / report this review -

Stunning mosque. Very polite people. I asked the guard whether I can go in and take some photos, and though he didn't speak English, he gestured for me to go in. The courtyard and interior of the mosque is beautiful. So is the dome when viewed from outside and the outside gardens. It was empty when I went and I took lots of photos.

While strolling along the Corniche don't bypass this 1970s mosque - probably the prettiest mosque in Aqaba. Nice building with a lot of attention to details, quiet atmosphere and perfectly maintained garden make it an ideal place to take a rest and soak in the overall atmosphere. It seems both the garden and the mosque are closed outside the prayer times.
