Jeddah’s 900-Year-old Abu Inbeh Mosque To Be Renovated
The Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Project for Development of Historical Mosques, in its second phase, aims to preserve more than 900-year-old urban heritage by renovating Jeddah’s Abu Inbeh Mosque, which is thought to have been built before the year 544 AH.
The project aims to strengthen the Islamic civilization of the Kingdom and restore life to sites that had a historical and social impact in shaping its human, cultural and intellectual surroundings, and to revive the religious, cultural and social role of historical mosques.
The project will restore Abu Inbeh Mosque in the architectural style of the Western region, by developing the facades of the mosque. The building is characterized by the architectural style of the western region that is meant to withstand the surrounding natural conditions on the coast.
The development process is being carried out by Saudi companies and Saudi engineers specializing in heritage buildings. Abu Inbeh Mosque is one of 30 mosques that the Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Project will renovate in its second phase in all 13 regions of the Kingdom.
