King Khalid Grand Mosque (Arabic: جامع الملك خالد) is a Friday mosque and an active place of worship in the Umm al-Hammam al-Gharbi neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Built in 1987 and opened in 1988,[1] it incorporates some elements of Turkish architecture and is one of the most prominent landmarks of Riyadh.[2][3][4][5] The mosque usually gets flocked by worshippers during the month of Ramadan to perform Taraweeh prayers and on religious holidays like Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha for Salat al-Eid.[6][7][8] It is locally known for providing Islamic funerary services to the deceased, such as ritual baths and prayers and is named after King Khalid bin Abdulaziz, whose relatives funded the mosque's construction.[9][10][11][12]
