Omar ibn AlKhatab Mosque

Al-Jowf Province, Saudi Arabia

The Mosque of Umar ibn al-Khattab is a Sunni Islam mosque, located within the historic city of Dumat al-Jandal in the Al Jawf Province of Saudi Arabia. The mosque is named after the Rashidun caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab, who is believed to have constructed the mosque, although this claim has been contested. The mosque's minaret is the first of its kind to be built in North Arabia as well. The mosque is part of the historic core of Dumat al-Jandal, standing adjacent to Marid Castle and within the Al-Darʿi quarter of the old city. Its minaret, set at the south-west corner of the prayer hall and rising in tapering tiers, is considered the earliest surviving minaret of its type in northern Arabia.
