The Saudi Mosque (Arabic: جامع المدينة المنورة: French: La Mosquée Saoudienne), also known as the Nouakchott Grand Mosque, is a Sunni Islam mosque in Nouakchott, Mauritania. It is located southwest of the Presidential Palace and immediately west of the Chamber of Commerce.[2]

Overview

The mosque was built with the assistance of the Government of Saudi Arabia.[3]

For several decades, Bouddah Ould Bousseyri had been imam of the Saudi Mosque, he was a close associate of the Mauritanian regime and a supporter of Sunni Islam and a very influential figure in the apolitical Islamist camp.[3][4] The current imam, Ahmedou Ould Lemrabet, is a thinker of politicized salafism and a supporter of state authority.[5][6][7]
