This beautiful mosque, the largest one in Sub-Saharan, and the 4th largest mosque in Africa, opened in 1982. With 2,500 places upstairs for women 10,000 spaces for men on the first floor, the mosque can manage another 12,500 worshipers in the esplanade. Today we witnessed the sweeping of the esplanade by the women's group.

Biggest mosque in conakry. Very beautiful. The mosque was built by the late King of Saudi Arabia king Fahd of Saudi Arabia & named after king Faisal. It is the most beautiful place to visit in Conakry, surrounded by a green garden and just on the auto road.
