Al-Sohoom Mosque (Arabic: مسجد السهوم) is an abandoned former low-contour historic Sunni Islam mosque, under rehabilitation, in the al-Yamamah neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[1][2][3]
Covering an area of 49 m2 (530 sq ft), the mosque dates from the 18th or 19th century when it was situated in the town of Manfuhah.[4] It is built in the Najdi architectural style, using clay and stands on five natural stone pillars extracted from the Tuwaiq mountains.[5][6]
The Saudi authorities began taking steps to protect the mosque in 2020 by halting all excavation activities around the site.[7][8][9]
