The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque also referred to as the Blue Mosque, is a Sunni Muslim mosque located in downtown Beirut, Lebanon.
The Mohammad Al-Amin mosque is the biggest mosque in Lebanon.
Soon after the Lebanon Civil War, very little was left. Following a donation by late Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, the foundation stone for the Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque was laid in November 2002. The design is evocative of the Ottomans’ monumental architecture: with a built area covering approximately 11,000 square meters, a 48-meter-high blue dome and 65-meter-high minarets (placed on the corners of the mosque), the mosque has become a dominant feature of the Beirut City Center skyline. It was inaugurated in 2008. The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque contains multiple domes. All of the domes of the mosque are made from light blue tiles. The mosque also has multiple arches, which are couple stories high. The mosque has very similar characteristics to the Sultan Ahmed Mosque.

The biggest mosque in beirut and lebanon and one of the biggest in the region. It is known for its size and blue top and because it was built by the prior assasinated prime minister (rafic hariri) who never saw it completed. It is located in ome of the beirut martyrs square's corners and is open to the public almost all day (access is limited to people wanting to pray during friday prayers time). It is a good landmark in beirut that is a must visit to tourists. Also notice the nearby maronite cathedral..the rafic hariri tumb and the roman ruines..all.surrounding the mosque.

Mohamad al Amin Mosque is the biggest mosque of Beirut. It is georgeous and breathetaking. Inside of the mosque is so peaceful. You can drink water for free inside. And toilets and ablution facilities are very clean. In front of the mosque there ara some ruins from Rome Empire time. Right next to the mosque there is a huge church as well. The whole ares is very beautiful and I advice everyone to visit

So symmetrical!! Also very accessible, you can basically just walk in, no hassle at all. (As long as you're dressed appropriately. If you're not you'll have to don the wizard robe.)
