The mosque, cherished for its unique spiritual experience, continues to enhance visitor experience through an extensive service infrastructure.
Quba Mosque is currently surrounded by upgraded courtyards covering over 14,000 square meters, providing visitors with a comfortable and accessible environment. To support older worshipers and those with disabilities, continuous transportation services are available with six dedicated vehicles. The mosque is fitted with 8,000 square meters of new carpeting and Zamzam water facilities with a storage capacity of 98,000 liters. Additionally, over 1,500 lighting units have been installed to enrich the mosque’s visual ambience.
