A new mosque, with a capacity to accommodate up to 600 worshippers, was inaugurated by the Sharjah Charity Society in Fujairah on Wednesday.

Al Ghoul Mosque was built on an area of 657.49 square meters, at a cost of Dh2 million, according to Dr Ali Muhammad Al Salami, Director of the Department of the Society in Dibba Al Hisn.

The mosque was built with the support of the Association’s donors in coordination with the General Authority for Islamic Affairs in Fujairah.

The mosque has a number of facilities, including wash rooms, ablution areas, parking lots, and accommodation for the imam.
