There has been a mosque here since 692, but it has been rebuilt over time and the current design is from the 15th century. As such it is regarded as the oldest mosque in the region. It's recognizable by its twin minarets.
The Khamis Mosque is believed to be the first mosque in Bahrain, built during the era of the Umayyad caliph Umar II in Khamis. According to Al Wasat journalist Kassim Hussain, other sources mention that it was built in a later era during the rule of Uyunids with one minaret. The second minaret was built two centuries later during the rule of Usfurids.
