This is called the Floating Mosque and it is located right on the Red Sea in Jeddah, in the midst of many beautiful sculptures that are located there along the Corniche. When it is high tide, this mosque appears to be literally floating in the Red Sea. This photo was taken at low tide and you can see the support beams or stilts to the right. You can also see the bridge that people must walk over to gain access to the mosque from the parking lot. It is quite beautiful when the tide is high, but unfortunately I don’t have any photos to show you. This is one of several mosques located right along the Red Sea here in Jeddah.

Susie: That is certainly an amazing structure.
Just catching up on a weeks worth of blogs and as usual, your blog has some extraordinary sights to see. Love the gates as I am a fan of doors myself.
beautiful mosque…
as always thank you for sharing your world with us. i so enjoy seeing what you will share with us each week.
have a wonderful evening.
this is really neat, such a creative design for a spiritual building.
A beautiful photo and structure.
I can imagine how beautiful this mosque must look during the high tide! Love the picture, Susie 🙂
Floating Mosque! Whatever next. Each post has something so mysterious. It is true your world has so many hidden gems.
Nice looking mosque and I love it that out in the water. Would love to see it during high tide. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
Lovely and very similar to our floating mosque too.
An interesting mosque. I’d love to see that at high tide.
The canyon makes me smile. Come for a visit.
a very elegant building, and a clever use of space.
This is a beauty in its finest with a mosque seemingly floating in the red sea. Truly, the Middle East is home to some of the best and sometimes unknown wonders in the world. In Dubai, I’ve seen The Palm and I must admit that I’m amazed at that structure. – Ana
I hope you one day can take a photo of it when it’s high tide. It’s amazing even with the tide out, though!
What an interesting mosque. It’s beautiful at low tide but I can imagine that it’s incredible at high tide. Your world is so fascinating to me never having been to that part of the world.
Floating mosque?! Reading of one for the first time. That is what MWT is for!
Amazing. The architect who designed this must be a romantic!
Very lovely photo of the mosque. Never see a floating mosque before.
you have a fascinating world.
Beautiful mosque
I can only echo what Jacob has said. I look forward to the very different and amazing sights you have to show us each week and I do look forward to them. And it is true, most of us would never know they were there let alone get to see them. This is a gorgeous shot! Thank you so much for sharing not only the photos but the interesting background as well. Have a great week!
That’s quite incredible. You have so many amazing sights to show the world, sights that most of would never even know about, much less see…so for that, thank you!
Great! Beautiful calm place! Great photo!
