Where to Pray Taraweeh in Riyadh - Masajid, Qaaris and locations - Ramadan 2023


UPDATE 2024: As you may have guessed, this blog is no longer being maintained actively. Although the list below is from 2023, vast majority of these imaams will most likely be in the same Masajid for 2024. It's worth checking the Masajid twitter pages and reviews on Google maps for up to date info. Ramadan Mubarak!

Salaam! Ramadan Mubarak! Below is my usual list of reciters and Masajid for Ramadan 2023.  Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to do a full check and update for this year, so if you notice any information which is out of date please do comment.  Also, if you notice any missing information, especially women's area, please comment so that I can update it accordingly.

UPDATE: Map added at end of post.  You can also access the full map by clicking HERE

  2. Do any of this majid complete full Quran in ramadan

    ReplyDelete
  3. Common question I've been getting asked since this was sent out: which Masajid complete a Juzz' per night? I honestly don't know but based on last year, if memory serves me right, Sheikh Luhaidan, Abdulaziz Al-Ahmed and Nasser Qattami. If anyone visits any of the Masajid please do contribute by commenting.

    1. Taraweeh at King Khalid Grand Masjid, Umm Al-Hammam is going at a good pace- 7th Juzz on the 7th of Ramadhan. Looks like the Quran will be completed there in-sha-Allah.
      CAUTION: Parking space is very limited and fills up quickly.

  4. Assalaam mu alaikum,

    can any one confirm where is Sheikh Nasser al Qatami, as last year 2018 he was recieting quran at Abdullah Foundation Mosque intersection of urobah and turki al awal.

  8. Sheikh Maajid alZamils Masjid is in irqah not in Khuzama

  9. Sheikh zaid al attiya moved from aziziya to somewhere in mecca before previous ramzan (2021).

  10. Nice mA. May Allah reward you for this. It would be helpful to also outline which masaajid do not allow children. For example, children are not allowed on the women's side of King Khalid - this is unrelated to Covid and was also the case 2019 and before.

    1. Difficult to do this as policies change from year to year and place to place. Most Masajid have a separate area for those women with children, so they'll have a women's section then a women + children section. Any such information is useful and that's why I encourage people to comment with any missing info.

      Delete
    2. It is confirmed that King Khalid has not allowed children inside for many years. You can see Google reviews from 4+ years ago stating this. I am guessing their policies last at least 1 full Ramadan, and since you update every year, it may be helpful to include this, where you have heard it is confirmed. It is extremely saddening for a Muslim to go to a masjid and be turned away as they are at some.

  11. Asalamu Alaikum - do you have any info about the Ahmad Jawad Alamdar Grand Masjid?
