Qatar Mosque opens in Rawabi city of Palestine
Qatar, represented by the Qatar Fund for Development, inaugurated Qatar Mosque in the Rawabi City project in Palestine in the presence of Prime Minister of Palestine Dr Mohamed Shtayyeh.
The Qatari delegation was headed by QFFD director-general and chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bayti Real Estate Investment Company Khalifa bin Jassem al-Kuwari.
The inauguration was also attended by founding partner Bashar al-Masry and the Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Mohamed Ahmad Hussein, in addition to VIPs from the Palestinian community. The mosque was built on a total area of about 8,400sqm, and the capacity of the mosque is estimated at about 3,000 worshippers, including one prayer room for men and another for women, in addition to a multi-use hall and various facilities.
By opening the mosque, it will contribute to meeting the residents of the city and will play a fundamental role in reviving the city and neighbouring villages, especially in important religious events.
It is worth noting that Qatar Mosque is part of the first phase of the project, with a total of six residential neighbourhoods, which provide about 2,000 housing units in addition to various office spaces and a commercial market with more than 100 brands. The project also includes various public facilities such as Rawabi Academy, the Grand Roman Amphitheater and public parks.
Rawabi is the only integrated city in the West Bank, as it was established in 2007. The city has also contributed to providing direct job opportunities for more than 800 Palestinian employees working to develop this vital project in addition to about 10,000 indirect job opportunities. The project also contributed to providing highend housing units for people with income. The Mediterranean city, in a modern style, contains all the important amenities for its residents.
