Addas Mosque
The Addas Mosque is an Islamic place of worship located in Taif, Saudi Arabia. Situated at an elevation of 1,900 meters at the foot of the Hijaz Mountains, it serves as a site for prayer and reflection for residents and visitors to the city.
Getting There
The mosque is accessible from the Taif city centre via local taxi or ride-sharing services. Depending on the specific starting point and traffic conditions, the drive typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes.
