This church will surprise you in many ways. It's an eighteenth century church that was built on top of a much earlier one from the 4th century. The much older church had been forgotten for hundreds of years, but a bombardment that took place during the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) unveiled the ancient church when a bomb bore a hole through the newer church's floor. It is possible to visit the older church during the day through a separate entrance to the left of the newer church's main door

Stunning Mosque inside and out, amazing feel. Heard the azaan and its juts beautiful. Security before you in but nice staff ready to help.

Stunning decoration!!

Apr 2018 • Friends

At the mosque entrance, we were offered long vest with a cap to wear during the visit. It was the first weekend of the Ramadan so it was a little bit busy inside the mosque but we were able to do the tour of the woman area and to admire the stunning decorations. Find more pictures on my Instagram (kelledstyle) and more info on my blog ;-)

Beautiful building

Nov 2017 • Friends

This mosque is in downtown Beirut, which is worth a visit in it's own right. This building is worth visiting during the day and night. Anyone can enter but be modestly dressed (take your shoes off). The interior is filled vibrant colour with amazing lighting but unfortunately, they are only turn on Friday, for Friday prayer.

Just like any other mosque

Feb 2015 • Solo

It was so-so ... not as grand as the ones in Abu Dhabi (the best mosque I've ever visited), Turkey (Hagai Sophia, Sulemanya Mosque), Casablanca in Morocco, Muscat in Oman, Manama City in Bahrain.

Huge. What for

Dec 2013 • Friends

Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque totally out of proportion. It visually overruns everything around it in Beirut city center, a place that was yesteryear shared by all communities. As a comparison, Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is perhaps bigger, but beautifully situated over the ocean.

Architecturally speaking, Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque is the imitation of Hagia Sophia and the Ottoman imperial mosques of Istanbul. It lacks any kind of originality,is totally out of place (Hagia Sophia and the Istanbul mosques were built over hills) and out of time. It's just big, bulky anti-modern...

Stunning

Apr 2019 • Couples

The first thing that catch anyone's eyes when in downtown Beirut is this mosque. It is absolutely beautiful! Entrance is free and they provide clothes to cover yourself properly in case you have your hair/legs/etc uncovered.

huge mosque!

Feb 2018 • Couples

impressive construction and well laid out with a memorial outside it, behind it the roman ruins on the other side the catholic church and an orthodox church just across it.
this area really represents what is Lebanon is about religiously.
the Mosque itself it is beautiful, really high ceilings, you have to take your shoes off and women need to wear a long sleeved gown and cover their hair when they go in.
it was a little dark inside and the chandelliers did not do it for me still its quite peaceful 15 minutes if you want to get out from the noisy streets of Beirut
