The mosque will be built on 20 ha in the Mohammadia area of Algiers, with its minaret soaring 270 m into the sky, and will be able to accommodate up to 120 000 people.
The development will also feature a library containing one-million works and seating for 2 000, as well as a museum and a research centre.
