Lonely Planet review for Al-Husseiny Mosque

Built by King Abdullah I in 1924, and restored in 1987, the Al-Husseiny Mosque is in the heart of downtown on the site of a mosque built in AD 640 by ‘Umar, the second caliph of Islam. The mosque is more interesting as a hive of activity than for any architectural splendour as the precinct is a popular local meeting place. Note that non-Muslims, while generally welcome any time except during prayers, may feel intrusive.
