Saudi project restores historic mosque in Al-Zulfi
AL-ZULFI: The Prince Mohammed bin Salman Project for the Development of Historical Mosques has completed the restoration of Al-Mansaf Mosque in Al-Zulfi, northwest of Riyadh.
The mosque reflects the traditional Najdi architectural style, using local materials such as mud, tamarisk wood and palm fronds, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.
Historically significant as a transit point for pilgrims and travelers, the mosque served as a vital religious and educational center for the local community.
The meticulous redevelopment expanded the site from 200 to 337 sq. meters, almost doubling its capacity to 150 worshipers, the SPA added.
Modern additions include dedicated prayer areas for women and upgraded service facilities, all integrated with sustainable heritage standards to preserve the mosque’s authentic identity for future generations.
The project balances traditional and modern construction standards, ensuring the sustainability of the mosque’s components while preserving heritage.
