Please be advised, the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs has issued directives to close all mosques in Saudi Arabia. In line with this decision, all KAUST mosques will be closed and all prayers are to be conducted at home to help minimize the spread of COVID-19.
The two holy mosques at Makkah and Medina will remain open, but after Isha prayers tonight, all other mosques in the Kingdom will close until further notice in line with these Kingdom-wide directives. The adhan will continue to sound for each prayer time.
