Faisal Mosque is an iconic landmark of Islamabad, designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay. Its unique shape resembles a Bedouin tent, with four towering minarets. Set against the scenic Margalla Hills, the mosque can accommodate over 100,000 worshippers. Visitors can explore the vast prayer hall, admire the minimalist interior, and enjoy the serene courtyard. The mosque's elevated position offers stunning views of the city and surrounding hills.
