Al-Ghamama Mosque, located 500 meters southwest of the Prophet's Mosque, is one of the most famous historical sites in Medina. It was associated with the journey of the Prophet Muhammad and is known as the last place where he performed Eid and rain prayers.
The mosque has undergone several renovation and restoration works, as it was built during the era of Umar bin Abdulaziz, between 86 and 93 AH. Sultan Hasan bin Muhammad bin Qalawun al-Salihi renovated it up to 761 AH, and it was restored again during the reign of Sultan Inal in 861 AH. Al-Ghamama Mosque was also repaired and restored during the era of King Salman, who showed great interest and care for its architectural style, so that people could benefit from performing prayers in it, encompassing many religious and cultural events and enhancing its historical value associated with the Prophet's journey.
The mosque is covered on the outside with black basalt stones, its domes and interior walls are painted white, and the arches are painted black to complete the mosque's unique appearance.
At the entrance to the building there is a green panel on which the words «Al-Ghamama Mosque» are written in calligraphy.
The external arches of the mosque represent a rare architectural style, built from dark stones and divided by white lines.
Inside, the arches testify to the engineering art that entered into the design and the craftsmanship of their creation.
