The Grand Mosque will serve as a central spiritual and architectural feature within Diriyah Gate, one of Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious heritage and urban regeneration projects.

This announcement follows Diriyah Company’s recent SAR 5.75 billion ($1.53 billion) contract awarded in July to China Harbour Engineering Company for the construction of the arena block, which includes Diriyah Arena, three mixed-use office buildings, and a parking complex—further underscoring the project's momentum and scale.
