Othman bin Affan Mosque

The Othman bin Affan Mosque is recognizable by its traditional coastal construction of coral stone and wood, a method that has defined its seven documented architectural phases. Located among the narrow pathways of historic Jeddah, this site traces its origins to the year thirty-three of the Hijri calendar, or six hundred fifty-four of the Common Era. It marks the period when Caliph Othman bin Affan designated Jeddah as the primary Islamic port, transforming the city into a central gateway for pilgrims and maritime trade.
