Saida, Saida district

Located in the old town of Sidon, the third largest city on the southern coast of Lebanon, Al Kikhia Mosque showcases typical Islamic design from the Ottoman period. Built by Mustafa Al-Qatkhada in 1624, its structure includes six domes, muqarnas (architectural vaulting), four columns of differing geometric design, and a marble white and blue minbar (the pulpit where the Imam delivers sermons).
