The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has directed that a new mosque planned for northern Riyadh be named after King Abdulaziz, following a proposal presented by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. The directive includes the allocation of an 88,000-square-meter plot of land along King Abdulaziz Road to construct the mosque.
