Saudi Arabia announces ‘largest expansion in history’ of Quba mosque

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has announced the launch of an expansion of the Quba mosque in Medina, the official Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday.

It is currently 5,035 square meters in size. The new plan will increase the total area of the mosque to 50,000 square meters that amounts to 10 times the current size.

The expansion is expected to cope with the increasing visitor numbers and align with the goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 – quality of life, and programs that seek to enhance the services offered to pilgrims.
