Mosques

Beirut, the vibrant capital of Lebanon, is home to a rich tapestry of Islamic heritage reflected in its numerous mosques and prayer spaces. The city's central area, particularly around the iconic Mohammad Al Amin Mosque in Martyrs' Square (Sahat al-Shuhada'), serves as a focal point for worshippers. This landmark, with its striking blue dome and minarets, stands as a symbol of Beirut's religious diversity. Nearby, the historic Al-Omari Grand Mosque, originally a Crusader church converted in the 13th century, offers a deep sense of history and spirituality. Within a short distance, worshippers can also find Emir Munzer Mosque and Mansour Assaf Mosque, both located in the heart of Beirut, providing convenient options for daily prayers.

Beyond the city center, the mapped data reveals a network of prayer places extending into surrounding districts. In the southern suburb of Baabda, Msaytbeh Mosque serves the local community, while further east in Aley, multiple mosques such as Al Rifaii Mosque, Osama Bin Zayd Mosque, and a general Mosque in Aley cater to residents and visitors. The implantation of prayer spaces continues into the mountainous areas of Baalchmay (Almaqasid mosque Baleshmeh) and Rwaysat Saoufar (Tabsh Mosque), as well as Hammana (Hamana Mosque). These listings indicate that Muslims in Beirut and its environs have access to prayer facilities across a wide geographic area, from the coast to the mountains.

For those traveling or residing in the broader region, the database includes mosques in the Beqaa Valley, such as the Mosque of Omar Ibn Al-Khattab in Zahlé, Bar Elias Grand Mosque, and Al-Nour Masjid in Bar Elias. While these are farther from central Beirut (over 35 km), they highlight the extensive coverage of prayer places across Lebanon. The presence of named mosques like Imam Ali Mosque and Aein Al Mrayseh Mosque further underscores the diversity of Islamic sites in the capital. Whether you are a long-time resident, a new arrival, or a traveler, the listed mosques in Beirut and its surroundings offer accessible spaces for prayer and community connection.

The listed mosques are based on available mapped records. Always verify addresses and opening hours directly with the mosque, as details may change. For mosques without a phone number or website, consider visiting in person or asking local residents. Distances are approximate and calculated from central Beirut (33.89332, 35.50157).
