Uqlat Al-Suqur Mosque Restored Under Historical Mosques Project

Restoration works have been completed at the Uqlat Al-Suqur Mosque in the Qassim Region under the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Project for the Development of Historical Mosques, expanding the site while preserving its historic character.

Originally built in 1922, the mosque has long served as a centre for worship and community life in Uqlat Al-Suqur. The redevelopment increased the total area to 544 square metres and raised its capacity to 250 worshippers.

The renovation was carried out by specialised Saudi firms using traditional construction materials, including mud, stone and wood, to maintain the mosque’s authentic Najdi architectural style. Original design elements were retained, with structural upgrades introduced to ensure the building supports contemporary use.

The project forms part of a wider national programme aimed at safeguarding the architectural identity and social role of historic mosques across Saudi Arabia, while rehabilitating them for continued community use.
