Fatah Mosque is one of the important mosques in Bahrain, a religious place for Muslims to pray and worship locally and from other countries. It is very solemn. Compared with the surrounding buildings, the building materials, style and absolute height are first class. Every day, a stream of believers come here to worship and chanting. Because of the wide range of believers, the interior is no longer able to accommodate. So there is also a place for prayer and chanting outside. Every day you can hear the thick and penetrating sound coming from here. The Grand Mosque and the Islamic Cultural Center, as well as the religious schools, are located in the same area in the Juffair district. Since the mosque is a religious site, it is not a mere attraction, and it is different from the domestic temple. When visiting, also dress neatly and respect local customs, do not wear short-sleeved shorts or short skirts, women apply a headscarf to cover slightly. In Ramadan, let alone eat or drink in front of Muslim believers, which will violate local laws and customs and cause trouble for yourself. If you are not a Muslim, it is recommended not to enter the interior of the mosque and walk around at will, let alone the side of the female temple. As a tourist, there will be no interference in shooting the exterior of the mosque, but there are many Muslim taboos. If you do not ask for face-to-face permission, it is recommended not to shoot people.

The mosque is primarily earth tones of tan, brown, and maroon in color. There is a central outdoor courtyard and a large indoor space with a giant chandelier. You will need to take your shoes off to enter. If you like to see mosques, it’s worth a short visit.
There are a lot of people who come to worship, and the scenery is good.
