University of Petroleum and Minerals Mosque

The mosque, a rectangular building approximately 27x45m, is located on the edge of a small body of water. The building is based on a traditonal mosque plan and there are several distinctive features in the design. The roof, which only covers the square prayer room, is made up of a series of semi-circular cupolas. The prayer room is set off from the sahn by marble slabs that function as walls.
