Mosques in the DQ

The Great Mosque is a beautiful complex situated next to Al-Kindi Plaza. I haven't been able to find any specific information on it (or even confirm its name, but this is what the sign outside says in English), but I keep returning to it because I find the architecture quite attractive and therefore decided to make a sub-gallery for it. I'm sure I'll be back again for more exterior captures. Unfortunately, non-Muslims aren't allowed to enter mosques in Saudi Arabia.

There aren't too many mosques on the DQ (it seems, anyway) so I decided to include pictures of others here as well.
