Similar to the architecture of the Alhambra, the mosque displays strong Moorish influence but also includes modern touches, such as electric doors, a sliding roof and heated floor. It was also built to withstand earthquakes. Built on reclaimed land, almost half of the surface of the mosque lies over the Atlantic.

Eighty thousand additional worshippers can be accommodated in the courtyard. Suggested attire: long cotton trousers for men, skirts or long cotton pants for women are recommended.
