Designed to meet the needs of both locals and travelers passing through this popular tourist hub, the new facility will feature a spacious prayer hall, gender-separated facilities, accessible restrooms, a library, classrooms, and a funeral area. Beyond worship, it’ll become a community hub offering free meeting spaces and charitable services like food packages for all in need. Funded by local and international Muslim donors, the project has council approval and strong local support — including from the Mayor — as it prepares to move from design to construction.
