The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs opened two new mosques in Umm Salal Ali and Umm Al Saneem, as part of the Ministry’s plan to expand the number of mosques and develop them in all regions, and to keep pace with urban and population growth, in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030. 
The new mosque in Umm Salal Ali can accommodate 268 worshippers (men and women), while the new mosque in Umm Al Saneem can accommodate about 360 worshippers (men and women), and includes all facilities. 
The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs takes into account population density, engineering, architectural and heritage characteristics, as well as environmental standards and rationalisation of water and energy consumption.
