Jahili Mosque
To the southwest of Jahili fort is a small mosque which is probably contemporary with the inner fort built by Sheikh Zayed the First at the end of the 19th century. The building’s historic fabric survives intact below a new layer of mud plaster added during a TCA Abu Dhabi conservation project. The mosque has a single room with an open arcade on the east side and is entered from an enclosed courtyard which would have been covered in summer to provide additional shade. Within the courtyard there’s a low, stepped platform from which the call to prayer was made and a small room which probably served originally for ritual ablutions.
