Went here for Friday prayers 2 weeks ago. We picked this masjid mainly because the sermon is in English. The imam’s Quran recitation was stunningly amazing.
Will definitely recommend to attend prayers here at least once while visiting Doha.
The souk is just across the masjid. So plan the day as such that you start with prayers, lunch and then the day/evening at the souk.
Love love Doha. 💕
Visiting Al Fanar Masjid, also known as the Qatar Islamic Cultural Center, was an enlightening experience. The iconic spiral minaret stands out and is truly mesmerizing, especially when illuminated at night. The mosque itself is beautifully designed, blending modern and traditional Islamic architecture, and provides a welcoming environment for both locals and visitors. Inside, the atmosphere is calm and spiritual, offering a great space for reflection and prayer. The cultural center attached to the mosque is highly informative, with exhibits and resources that provide insights into Islamic culture and Qatari heritage. Whether you're interested in learning more about Islam or just appreciating the architecture, Al Fanar is a must-visit in Doha!
Al Fanar masjid is a state of the art mosque designed beautifully from outside as the manarat spirals towards the top, from inside its a simple structure defined by the local culture. The ground floor has a cultural experience exhibition filled with historic islamic books and events. The first floor has a mini Library with offices on the top floors. Shops and other retail stores are spread across the floors. Plenty of parking space is available. Must visit for praying!
A Truly Inspiring Visit
I was deeply impressed by the stunning architecture of this Mosque – the design is both beautiful and peaceful. Even more remarkable was the kindness and hospitality of the people working there. They were welcoming, respectful, and always ready to help or answer questions.
One highlight that deserves special mention is the VR tour showcasing the history and development of the holy city of Mecca. It was both educational and emotionally moving – a must-see for visitors of all backgrounds.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in Islamic culture, architecture, or spirituality.
Special thanks to Zac Nour, guiding us through.
