The Lalla Abla Mosque (Arabic: مسجد للا عبلة), also known as the Port Mosque, is a mosque in Tangier, Morocco, completed in 2017 and dedicated by King Mohammed VI in July 2018. It replaced a smaller mosque at a nearby location, also known as the Port Mosque.[1]
It is named after Mohammed VI's grandmother, Lalla Abla bint Tahar, echoing the dedication 35 years earlier of Tangier's Mohammed V Mosque to her husband, Mohammed VI's grandfather.[2]
The mosque occupies a 5,712 square-meter plot of land, in a prominent location on Tangier's fishing port that was inaugurated by Mohammed VI a few weeks earlier in June 2018.[3] It can host over 1,900 worshippers in two separate prayer halls for men and women.[4]
