A small white mosque built out over the Red Sea on a low platform, perhaps the most photographed building in Jeddah. The architecture is modern but follows traditional Hijazi forms — a turquoise dome, a single minaret, lattice screens — and the location on a curve of the Corniche means the building catches the light off the water from every angle.
Non-Muslims can admire the building from outside but cannot enter. Dress modestly if approaching. Free; combine with a walk along the northern Corniche.
