World's first underwater mosque

The world's first underwater mosque has been constructed beneath the water close to the Saudi Arabian town of Tabuk. The mosque was built by a group of private divers. According to Emirates 247, the mosque is constructed of sand filled plastic pipes. The divers conducted prayers inside the underwater structure once the building was complete. - One of our colleagues came up with this idea last summer and we decided to carry it out. We have just completed the construction of the mosque… when we put the final touches on it, it was time for afternoon prayers, so we performed group prayers in the first underwater mosque in history - said diver Hamadan bin Salim Al Masoudi.
