Located near the heavily-guarded Presidential Palace, it is one of the largest mosques in the world.
Al-Saleh Mosque is a modern mosque in Sana'a that is the largest in Yemen. It lies in the southern outskirts of the city, south of Al Sabeen Maternal Hospital. It was inaugurated in November 2008 by Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The mosque, 27,300 square metres (294,000 sq ft) in size, has a central hall that is 13,596 square metres (146,350 sq ft) with an occupancy capacity of 44,000. The building cost nearly US$60 million to construct. Open to non-Muslims, the mosque is frequented by tourists, and promotes moderate Islam. After the Houthi–Saleh split in 2017 that resulted in the death of president Saleh, the Houthi-led authorities in Sana'a announced a renaming from "Al-Saleh Mosque" to "The People's Mosque", and they continue to use this name.
