It was built in 1989 to remember King Hussein and it has got a big blue cupola. Inside it can pray more than 7000 people and all around the square of the mosque can pray other 3000 people.
Inside the mosque there is a small Islamic Museum. Leave a Comment Address: Suleiman Al-Nabulsi Street

King Abdullah - the first king of the modern incarnation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan that was created from the breakup of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I -had this mosque built in 1924 on the site of an ancient mosque that was built here in the 7th century, just a few years after Islam came to the country.
Built in Ottoman style in the heart of the old city, this is Amman's Juma (Friday) mosque. It's closed to non-Muslims. The square and the streets around the mosque make for great people-watching however.

This mosque can easily get mixed up with the one downtown which is also called the King Hussein mosque but locally (and better) known as Al-Husseini Mosque. The Husseini Mosque was built by HM King Abdullah I in place of an ancient mosque originally built by Omar ibn Al-Khattab (ra). It is an architectural landmark in Jordan and considered the heart of the downtown souk. One of the reasons it’s usually used as the starting point for many protests, rallies and/or demonstrations
This one (King hussien mosque)is a new masterpiece in West Amman, where the new King Hussein public park is. A beautiful location where it overlooks the whole of west Amman and adjacent to an upscale area of residential villas and palaces (Dabook).
You will be surprised at the amount of architectural significance that was employed.
Almost hi-tech (as far as a place of worship goes). The idea of incorporating a museum is something I find very appealing. I personally didn’t know we even had the Prophet pbuh’s letter to Hercules. I’ve seen it only in history books.
I’ve yet to experience it but from what I last saw of it the size is pretty reasonable Leave a Comment Address: Hussien Gardens

Known also as al-Husseini, the King Hussein Mosque is considered Amman's 'grand' mosque. It was built by King Abdullah I in 1924, soon after the establishment of Jordan, then still a British protectorate and named Trans-Jordan. It is said that the mosque occupies the site of the first mosque in Amman, built in 640 AD, by the second Caliph Omar. Although the current structure dates from after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the architectural style, particularly in the minarets, is heavily influenced by Ottoman architecture.

 King Abdullah Mosque by MM212 |
One of the most distinctive mosques in Amman, the Mosque of Abu Darwish crowns one of Amman's seven hills, Jebel Ashrafiyeh. Although not terribly old, built only in 1961, its alternating black and white stones draw on traditional Levantine architecture. The mosque is clearly visible from other hills around Amman. In the attached photographs, it is captured from Jebel al-Qala'a (the Amman Citadel).

It's the biggest mosque of the city and one of the most important monuments of Amman. It was built in the early 90s, it has twin towers and an huge blue dome, and it can be seen from many places in the city. It is a very good example of Amman's modern architechture. It is open for visitors, but it closes during praying times. Leave a Comment Address: Suleiman Al Nabulsi street
